M 274

Dialogue concerning Wilkes.

This is written on the same kind of paper as M 277 (watermark: D.C.
Błauw, which JB regularly used in Holland). JB must be recalling
his experiences in London; note that in M 277 he writes, "To thee ...
From *foreign parts* in rhime I write".

Brit. Mus. Cat.: Wilkes? -- *The Fall of Mortimer an historical play re-
vived from Mountfort, with alterations. 1763*. It is listed in Gent.
Mag. for March 1763.
