To B.Bishop G.Gordon

“JanryJanuary 13. 1770.
You oblige me
much by your Comment on a late Article of
Intelligence. God be thanked, that the Party
has changed Quarters. Let Time &and Patience,
as you say, tell the rest, which I will be glad
to learn.
Have you seen a North Briton Extraordinary?
a spirited Piece truly, &and ends with a Threaten-
ing
of the Claymore.
The Letter from Junius to ——— is an Ex-
traordinary
of Extraordinaries, &and makes a
great Noise here. It shewsshows little Re-
spect
for Dignities. Perhaps, it will end
in Vapour &and Smoke in your huge City.
Strange &and Staring are the Fears of some, &and
the Expectations of others, amongst the Govern-
X
i.e. Two Copies of yethe Narrative of the Escape, &andc. as
mentioned pag. 1924 hujus.
1941(1941)
ment- Folks hereabouts, with respect
to the present Meeting of Parliament.
I am ^an indifferent Spectator. Conjectures,
Suspicions &and Jealousies prevail. Politics,
Politics, are the prevailing Topic at pre-
sent
in all Companies, high &and low.”
