[London] I call upon your lordship to declare publicly,
whether it was, or was not, by and through your lordship's
advice and instigation, that a certain ballad singer was
taken up by the pump in St. Paul's churchyard, for singing a
ballad beginning with A Scotchman he must have the Itch --
your lordship knows what follows -- the itch of getting
money. I ask your lordship whether this ballad-singer is
not now in Bridewell, and whether she has not three whipping
a day? . . . Moll Greggor (that is her name) . . . [signed]
John Pompey Wilkes.
