Improbable Dunkirk Settlement Narrative From 1786 Letter

Letters from Dunkirk describe an influx of fourteen vessels from North Africa carrying hundreds of Quaker and Broughton families seeking to settle in Dunkirk. The piece critiques British fears of American influence, praises religious toleration, and details broader European political and military concerns of the era with scattered references to discontent, prints, and public sentiment.
