A contemporary wrote an interesting note on the front cover: "Very strong ag't Littleton and very / Little against Pitt in general / Exposing the pretended Patriots." According to Walpole in 1747 "I was re-chosen in the new Parliament for Kellington in Cornwall. About the same time was published a Letter to the Tories written as I then believed by Mr. George Lyttelton who with his family had come over to Mr. Pelham. As Mr. Lyttelton had been a great enemy of and writer against my father as as Mr. Pelham had used my father and his friends extremely ill and neglected the Whigs to court the Tories I published an answer to that piece and called it a Letter to the Whigs. It was a careless performance and written in five days. At the end of the year I wrote two more Letters to the Whigs but did not publish them till April the next year when they went through three editions immediately. I had intended to suppress them but some attacks being made by the Grenvilles on Lord Chief Justice Willes an intimate friend of my father. . .
