Title: | DUKE OF ANCASTER to the DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. |
Description: |
--Has summoned a meeting at Lincoln to take proper measures for the tranquillity of their parts in case it be requisite to raise the force of the county, " which has been laid aside so long as to be rendered incapable of service without the assistance of arms, ammunition and some few disciplined men." Hopes for proper instructions from the government and for his Lordship's (sic) advice in regulating his proceedings in this critical juncture. From the happy disposition of the county, he apprehends no appearance of inquietude. [The letter begins "My Lord" and ends " your Lordship's &c.," but the endorsement " To the Duke of Newcastle," although cancelled, is quite legible, and the letter is clearly that to which the following is the answer.] |
