B.BishopG.Gordon

“AplApril 20. 1769.
We are told, the
Government appears to be a good deal
alarmed at the Discontent &and Disturban-
ces
occasioned by Mr Wilkes’s party;
for petitions, &and I don’t know what, are
said to be in Agitation, which all your loyal
Scotch addresses, ‘tisit is thought, will hardly
be able to prevent. God only knows
what is to become of us; for Clouds
seem to be gathering from all Quar-
ters
. “To your Tents, O Israel!” tisit is
reported, was an Expression uttered
in Dom.Domus Com.Communium on Saturday-Night
or Sunday-Morning last; for they
sat till 2 o’ Clock.”
