The letter was written to a job-printer who had delivered to the Marquess a shipment of handbills offering a reward of 500 pounds for the author of a supposed libel against him, said to have been posted in Stowe Park and around the town of Buckingham. The Marquess claimed that both his signature and seal on the letter placing the order were forged, and regretted that the printer and the Editor of The True Briton had been taken in. He refused to pay the bill and returned the ruined paper stock with his apologies. The printer is probably John Stockdale (information from HM 76777).
