Testimony on Newfoundland and Newfoundland garrisons in peril
The writer appeals to witnesses in England who were at St. John’s surrender and arrived by private ships or cartel to confirm truth. He notes French commander humanity, claims St. John’s garrison may be about forty, Placentia still in British hands with 1500 French at St. John’s and Placentia, and questions a favorable peace. He criticizes Wandsworth letter as inconsistent and urges a safe and honorable peace aligned with wartime gains.
