An anthology of letters addressed to the heads of state from numerous county officials occasioned by the conquest of the British controlled Mediterranean island of Minorca by French forces in 1756.

1776List3149Knaresborough England 1776. Single three page letter measuring 6 ¼ x 7 ¾ inches. Normal wear; Near Fine. A letter from Nathaniel Sharpe in Knaresborough to Edmund Green a merchant in London addressed to Green at the Jamaica Coffee House. This café the first of its kind in London was established in the mid-17th century; in 17th and 18th century Britain coffee houses were popular meeting places particularly for conducting business. Sharpe writes to Green:<br /> <br /> “Your Esteem’d favour of the 22d is before me and the picture you have drawn of the situation of publick affairs are truly very alarming and have no doubt but the Representation is a very just and real one. . But to the following Fact place yourself in my situation and give me your Candid opinion Wether I am safe in letting £2200 lay any longer or whether I ought to call it in and place it out on a Security in this Country.â€<br /> <br /> He describes his investments and states that:<br /> <br /> “I have not one shilling in Trade since 1760 and in Decemr. 1762 Retir’d to this place and found myself in possession of a Happiness that I could ill brook to part with. And which I would wish to preserve. Should this sum be in no danger I can live as usual.â€<br /> <br /> The American Revolutionary War had a significant impact on the British economy; at the time Sharpe was writing although the conflict had been ongoing for some time the war itself was in its early days and uncertainty was high.<br /> <br /> Other than asking for financial advice Sharpe tells Green that Green’s “Brother Tommy had . taken a Cup of Liquor rather too freely and had been drawn into Cards†alarming their mother who had requested that Sharpe inform Green about the event; asks Green to visit her; and sends his good wishes to a mutual friend. unknown
177921556.04Philadelphia PA 1779. No binding. Fine. The Pennsylvania Packet or the General Advertiser. Newspaper. The Pennsylvania Packet or the General Advertiser John Dunlap: Philadelphia Pa. July 15 1779. 4 pp. 10 1/2 x 16 1/2 in. untrimmed. The front page prints a lengthy letter from ""A Farmer of Virginia"" on inflation taxation and monetary policy. Excerpts""There are three principal causes of the depreciation of our paper-currency. First the great quantity in circulation. Second the want of confidence in the will and ability of the States to redeem it by taxes and specie. Third the deranged State of the public business and the want of effectual laws for regulating the conduct of an bringing to account all such as are employed in the service of the public.I shall endeavor to shew by what methods the quantity in circulation may be lessened and the value restored without violating the public faith or oppressing the citizens of these United States. The paper-money of these States differs from that of any country in Europe because the principle on which it is emitted is different. The principle is taxation; and if it be not duly applied the quantity must encrease according to the exigencies of the States and the credit or value will be diminished in proportion as the quantity emitted exceeds the sum necessary for a circulating medium. This will generally be ascertained by comparing the price of commodities purchased with paper-money to that which shall be purchased with specie. Taxation then being the principle on which the paper money was emitted if it had been applied when the depreciation commenced it would most certainly have produced a remedy for the evil. This would have prevented the enormity of the public debt. p. 1 col. 1-3Also on the front page: an advertisement for ""Good Bohea Tea"" sold by Jewish merchant Benjamin Seixas who had relocated to Philadelphia from New York during the British occupation. p.1 col.3This issue also contains a letter from George Washington responding to Doctor John Morgan who was in the process of a very public vindication. ""No fault I believe ever was or could be found with the economy of the Hospitals during your Directorship. Things in the first stage of the war were plentiful and cheap and I am inclined to think that you contributed as much as lay in your power to provide at the lowest rates."" p.2 col.1As well as the protests of the ""tanners curriers and cordswainers of the city"" in response to inflation: ""The depreciation of our currency is a fact so notorious that the cause of America can receive no injury from mentioning it in the course of the observations we are about to make. For many years preceding the issuing of the present currency the prices of skins leather and shoes were so proportioned to each other as to leave the tradesmen a bare living profit.The prices of leather and shoes continued the same as formerly until the depreciation of the currency had made considerable progress nor did we advance our price until the increased expence of almost every other article of consumption rendered it absolutely necessary and then we kept a great distance behind many other tradesmen and infinitely almost behind the advance on foreign articles. Thus in the beginning of 1777 when money had depreciated or which is the same thing goods had risen for the most part to three and four prices our commodities had advanced scarcely two prices.Having thus stated our ideas of this matter for your consideration we think ourselves justified before the world in declaring that we do not consider ourselves bound by the regulated prices of our commodities and we shall not observe them until a general regulation of all other articles shall take place by common consent."" p. 2 col. 2-3 p. 3 col. 1Along with other reports of the war. ""We have been twice out after the enemy's fleet but can't bring them to action. On our passage to this port in company with the Carrisfort we fell in with a fleet fr.
