Incendiary Plot Aims to Bind Britain to Spain Through Letters
The narrative recounts fear driving resolutions to fail and a group led by Rogers traveling to London and then to York to seek harbor with Earl Faulkenbridge. They devised a tripartite letter cipher to avoid detection, planned to go to France for security, and explored ties linking Grimaldi, Choseul, Guignes, Lord Bute, Lord Halifax, and Lord Mansfield, including a 1000 pound transfer via the Bank of Geizea to Lord Bute.
