The letter is dated 4 November 1819, following a protest meeting on 14th October in York, chaired by Earl Fitzwilliam, who was dissmised as Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire for his part in this anti-establishment gathering, even though it only called for a "strict enquiry" into the events of 16 August. This pamphlet, which itself attacks Fitzwilliam, is attributed to Arthur Henry Kenney, Irish protestant cleric.
