Sir,
I just just been informed by Crowther a number of Luddites to the amount of Five hundred intend meeting tomorrow; from several circumstances he has related I have reason to think they meditate an attack on Mr. Radcliffe. I shall be in Huddersfield tomorrow, when Crowther will communicate the time and place of their meeting, but as it will be late in the day before I hear from him, I have thought it necessary Sir, to acquaint you with this intelligence to night
I have [etc]
Francis Raynes Capt
To
Major General Ackland
&c &c &c
This letter can be found at HO 40/2/3.
