As Mr. Lyttelton had been a great enemy of and writer against my father as as Mr. Pelham had used my father and his friends extremely ill and neglected the Whigs to court the Tories I published an answer to that piece and called it a Letter to the Whigs. It was a careless performance and written in five days. At the end of the year I wrote two more Letters to the Whigs but did not publish them till April the next year when they went through three editions immediately.
