Address panel to "Mr. A. Mackrabie / Philadelphia."
Part of a large collection of correspondence of Sir Philip Francis; see collection-level record for more information.
Referring to his land purchase in America; relating political news of the report of The Committee of Privileges to the House of Commons; commenting that "Nothing can be more ridiculous and disgraceful both to the Committee and to the House than this whole business. I shall not wonder at, though I have no sufficient reason to expect, a dissolution of Parliament, and a total change of hands as thing now stand;" adding that "Lord Chatham is to move to-morrow for an address to dissolve. Lord Halifax is either dead or dying: if he should survive he is to quit business. Wilkes will probably be sheriff."
