- המחבר מבקש לקדם חוק שיתמוך בטיפול עניי הקהילה היהודית, בעקבות התכתבותו עם Patrick Colquhoun. בהקדמתו כותב: Although these Letters were not originally intended for publication, yet now that a Petition lies before the House of Commons for the purposes stated in them, it is thought expedient that the Public should be in possession of those important facts, which, by evincing their necessity, have given rise to the Propositions they contain.
