  Piccadilly, London



Honrd. Sir      I was glad to receive your Letter Contradicting the Assertion, of the printer of the London Evening Post, “that you had abused the Minority”  All your friends had agreed it could not be.  yet the Minds of some credulous violent patriots here were irritated by it.  but they are now set almost right again, I think.
