Thomas Coke to Mr Thos Williams, Brecon, So. Wales, 5th May 1798

in this letter, Coke asks Williams to "pay for me my Quota of the Subscription, which the Corporation of Brecon subscribed for the defence of our King and Country", and to send him the remainder of the year's mortgage interest on Coke's Coyty estate. It is likely the subscription payment for the defence of the kingdom was related to the increasing threat from invasion by the French under Napoleon.
