Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 110-111. Note dated at Dorset Street, Salisbury Court from W [William] Woodfall to Lord Stormont offering his services 'as a newspaper conductor, or any application of the powers of his situation' to assist the Government 'in the present exigency of public affairs'. He says that his efforts to 'appease the rage of the misled and mad populace' have led to his house being a proscribed house and his family being 'in the utmost alarm and disorder' made worse by his wife's condition [she was pregnant]. Woodfall encloses 'the original copy of an article just sent him by Lord George Gordon. He has caused all of it to be printed for tomorrow morning's Chronicle excepting only that sentence marked between crochets thus [ ] and that he has omitted, because it appears to convey an insinuation tending to mischief and future tumult'. Enclosure not filed here.
