My Dear Henry

I did not know that you cared about politics or news, or I would have told you before how the House of Commons voted for committing Sir Francis Burdett ² to the Tower, for a libel upon it. He refused to go & the Mob surrounded his house to protect him, but this morning the Constables got in at his window & took him there by force. Tell me what M^r Hall thinks your illness was. Does he call it a jaundice Mary Talbot ³ went to Salisbury to day. I received the Sketch books very safe.

I am yours aff^y

One soldier was killed by the mob, & several of the mob were killed today on Tower Hill where they made resistance to Sir F. B's being carried into the Tower.
