From John Farquharson of Aldlerg,

“Dunkirk, Feb.February 25. 1769.
I have no
kind of News to send, only my old
friend
is still in good health, &and much
in the same way. The head of the Church
of Rome
is gone where he deserves.
This may Change a little the Situation
of a Certain young Gentleman to the
better. The Turk has turn’dturned CatholickCatholic,
&and the Empress of Russia Protestant.
This is all my little News.”— Once more
strange Language from a Papagee1 u-
