For Mr. Johnson who was ill.

Mr. Daview. This Indictment is prosecuted by Mr. Hastings Governor General to bring Mr. Hicky to Punishment for a Libel to this Effect “Patna the 8th of March 1781.”
Mr. Davies read this Letter through from his Brief.
Two Points will be for Your Consideration, whether Mr. Hicky Published this Paper and whether the Successor of Lord Clive means Mr. Hastings.
