London, September 20. To the printer of the public ledger.
We are hitherto very well satisfied with your proceedings,
and have never yet intended so much a to make you a visit,
but shall soon be about your house, if you do not insert the
following caution we now give to those who are cruelly and
designedly concerned in grinding the faces of the poor, and
taking the bread out of our mouths, to sent it abroad to
foreigners. . . .
The price of corn, is grown a thorn
Which pricks to death, or near it.
Farmers take care! Millers beware!
For flesh and blood can't bear it.
[signed] Hunger and Anger.
