A long transcription from Middlesex Journal recounts fervent appeals to American and British subjects urging steadfast loyalty to constitutional rights. It juxtaposes colonial grievances, parliamentary criticism, and calls to resist royal ministers while praising Paoli and European sympathy.
Readable fragments describe a visit from Grosvenor Square to Lady Dowager Windsor, hints of ongoing negotiations with wide gaps between parties, a petition being prepared by county folk, and speculative chatter on Keberty supporters and a new ministry. Oblique references to Wilkes and Irish taxes appear amid blurred politics.
A string of plainspoken items recount political fever in England and Wales with references to misrule, taxation, and rights. Reports note emetics given to a minister, lottery tickets sold near Westminster Hall, crimes from assault to rape, and a humorous ancedote about a virtuous clergyman defending a pair of ladies.
