Title | John Wilkes to William FitzHerbert: understood that he would be pardoned: finds that the delay interferes with his private affairs; has read the History of the late minority, and is sure `Almon' has put a good deal of it together; does not intend to be a passive victim; asks for this letter to be shown to Lord Rockingham, and for his thanks to go to Lord John Cavendish and Edmund Burke for their efforts on his behalf. Asks FitzHerbert to write to him under cover "A Monsieur D'Espilly, Libraire a la Croix d'Or, Rue St. Jacques, and your letter will pass unsuspected". From Paris, 6 July |
