| Description | [The disturbances in Cornwall. 'It is dreadful to think on the misery that will fall to the lot of many thousands of its wretched inhabitants when this poor pittance is taken from them & their wives & children left to starve. My dear Jamie our loss will be great if Corwall is unhappily ruined but it will not deprive us of bread. Believe me I feel more for what will be the fate of the miserable miners than for any thing I can suffer by the avarice & folly of those who has been the cause of such mischief.' Letters.] |
