Ferrers discusses help that might be given to him in a forthcoming law case at Whalley-Sessions. More significantly, the letter concerns events relating to the Rye-House plot, including the burning of the Rump at Covent Garden after the return of the Duke of York (James II), the burning of an effigy of a Presbyterian Minister, the burning of the Earl of Shaftesbury's effigy, as well as the Exclusion Bill and other related news.
