Correspondence and News From London and Beyond
A long letter from a London correspondent describes plans to travel, letters to a beloved friend, and expectations of meeting in town. The page also reports on Lord William Campbell's dispatches from Nova Scotia, Turkish peace proposals, and parliamentary intrigues. It notes ministerial disputes, naval and colonial news, trade woes, and losses in various ports, with local accidents and thefts, a drowning, and a Hampstead merchant’s death.
