J. Banks to Francis Foljambe; will send papers "but hear your young adversary is comeing over and I thinke you had better let them lye awhile and see whether they stirr or not, for they lye as safe as anything I have, but if you order otherwise will lead you on a minutes warneing"; comments on local and national affairs "...

The aspect abroad is good and helps(?) the Jacobites locke downe".
