This worried the leadership of Ireland and they requested help in challenging Wood's patent and leading a boycott of the coin.

During this time, Lord Carteret, the British Secretary of State whose remit included Ireland, publicly pushed Walpole into defending Wood's patent.

The pamphlet was successful, and public opinion became so hostile against Wood's coinage that the patent was withdrawn by 1725.

In his criticism of the Privy Council's report, the Drapier claims that the report is part of Wood's propaganda and lies, because Wood released three proposals concurrent with the report: lowering the patent production quota from £ 100, 800 to £ 40, 000 worth ; that no one is obliged to accept more than five pence halfpenny per transaction ; and to sell the coin at 2s 1 d a pound or his raw copper at 1s 8d a pound.

In the second letter, the Drapier walks a careful line between openly indicting the king and merely hinting at his relationship with Wood's patent ; while the Drapier accuses Wood, he constantly refers to the king's authority and power to issue legal tender ( this is called " the King's Prerogative ").

In response to calls for action from the Drapier in the second letter, a group of bankers joined together on 17 August 1724, agreeing in writing that they would not accept the coin produced under Wood's patent.

The Drapier does not blame the production of the coining on Walpole's policies, in regard to England's colonies, but on Wood's ( and his accomplice's ) actions This criticism of Wood's actions allows the Drapier to attack the patent process in such a way that could not be used directly against the British Parliament.

Throughout the letter, the Drapier pretends that Carteret's transfer to Ireland to enforce Wood's patent was a rumor produced by Wood's allies, although Swift had knowledge to the contrary.

The fourth letter was written in response to the many charges put forth by the British supporters of Wood's patent against the Irish, including claims of papal influence and of treason.

A secondary rhetorical battle began between Walpole and the Irish in regard to Wood's patent ; the rest of the constitutional debate was over the nature of Poynings ' Law, a law that was brought back into use through the Declaratory Act ( 1720 ).

This letter is seen as the final salvo in the Drapier's fight against Wood's patent.

The purpose of the sixth letter was to ensure that Midleton would stay true to his opposition of Wood's patent.

It was written before Wood's patent was defeated, and it was stopped from being printed when word reached Swift that the patent had been withdrawn.
