Scope and content
Printed circular quotes an extract from the Morning Chronicle report of the Annual Meeting of the British and Foreign Institute, in which George Jones mentioned attacks made on the Institute by the Times and Punch, and the letter alleged to be his which had appeared in the latter. 'It was a gross forgery. Even the autograph which followed, which was a fac simile of his own, was forged'. In response to these claims Punch is circulating a facsimile of his letter; 'The original may be seen at the Printing Office of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, Lombard Street, Whitefriars'.
Facsimile letter by George Jones addressed to 'Mr Punch', dated 9 May 1844 at the British & Foreign Institute, in protest against the 'disgusting attacks upon this excellent Institution' and 'the taking advantage of a mere similitude of names to connect me with a base born intruder who has caused Her beloved Majesty so much alarm'
