Last Wednesday the following threatening letter was sent to the master of the Red Cow, in Cow-lane, West-Smithfield, viz.
Mr. Bray, London 16, 1761,
You are hereby desired to dispatch yourself; I have heard a very good character of you, and therefore leave it to yourself whether you will die by dagger, sword, or poison; if you outlive this order above one hour, I have given directions to put you to death by torture.
From your friend,
J. Langdon.
