PRO HO 44/19, nos. 112-13
Dear Sir
inclosed I have sent you one of the second Batch of obnoxious papers
which I am sorry to see posted up in Cambridge and seem to be permitted
to remain unmolested by the authorities if I had been in power I would
soon have ordered them down and prosecuted the author which I hope
to hear punished for the same he is possesed of a handsome property
at Chesterton one mile from Cambridge which I know very well which
makes him saucy but sure our Laws will not tolerate such scandal against
such as you and our Noble Premier who have done so much for the country
I hope the Malt and Beer Tax will not be thrown of if it is and the
Beer we shall have roiots [sic] I have no doubt ale only
talks about Labour it is the small that does the work I well know
and leads to no Violince [sic]

I have the Honor to Remain
Hon[ourab]le Sir your Ob[edien]t Hum[b]le Serv[ant]
David Wray Physician and Consulting Surgeon
N.B. I have heard many respectfull people say the duty of houses
and windows would give more satisfaction as many grope in darkness
in consequence but these matters I hope you will not deem illtimed
by my information upon the subject I Love my King and I am convinced
the country will be eased of all Burthons[burdens] as soon
as the taxes can be spared
