Fragmented Postscript letter on war and politics in 18th century
In a rough Postscript from London, a correspondent critiques French plans to invade England, questions troop movements, and weighs defensive measures. The text references French deserters, British regiments, and the possibility of internal security schemes, including arming horsemen and raising militia, as a preventive measure against invasion.
