Admirers Plea to a Lordship from Kings Bench Prison
A letter dated November 21 1770 from Kings Bench Prison pleads that religion should yield to policy, comically upbraids claims of selfishness, and elevates the recipient as a superior, expressing veneration and a wish for noble, disinterested action for relief and reward.
