Transcription

From said SrSir WmWilliam Dunbar.

“Banff, March 27. 1774. Thanks for many
Favours. Woodfall’s paper is true, say Com-
mons
and Satan, their Supporter, what they
please, when they call 2 &and 2 Six. ‘Tis a
blunt StileStyle but strong. Veritas vincit.
I’m thinking France &and Spain have a hand
in Boston-Doings. God help us; we are
in a sad dismal Condition; all due to the
R—— R——on, ‘tis plain. England is
Case-harden’dCase-hardened almost! sunk in Folly &and
Madness, infections like a Plague.”
