Scope and content
Letter from TW (Thomas Wythe) to unidentified recipient, although possibly Marquis Cornwallis. Recounts how Mr Maynard , Mr Frere and the other acting justices suggest that based on the examples given by other districts they propose to put an advert in the Ipswich paper requesting the principle inhabitants of the two houses (?) to meet them at the Lion at Eye in the hope they might reach some agreement outside of court. This in part is to suppress their circulation of seditious writings and pamphlets and to 'preserve face and good order'. Cornwallis' own interests in the case encouraged Wythe to write to him to inform him of the meeting. Written from Eye, 20th December 1792. Signed TW.
