6-13 Jun 1768:1543 (74)
A genuine letter from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, to a
gentleman in London, dated March 30th, 1768.
   This day about noon we received the news of Mr. Wilkes's
election for the county of Middlesex, by a great majority. 
The inexpressible joy that appeared among the inhabitants in
general is not to be conceived; the bells were immediately
set a ringing, and continued upwards of twelve hours, and
every inhabitant of the town appeared with a blue cockade in
his hat, interwoven with the words Wilkes and Liberty, . . .
