all that fell under my own observation during my Christmas visit to Newstead, I feel convinced that, if
conciliatory
measures are not very soon adopted, the most unhappy consequences may be apprehended
.
Nightly outrage and daily depredation are already at their height; and not only the masters of frames, who are obnoxious on account of their occupation, but persons in no degree connected with the malecontents or their oppressors, are liable to insult and pillage.
I am very much obliged to you for the trouble you have taken on my account, and beg you to believe me,
Ever your obliged and sincere, etc.
