185835408Barbados: n.p. 1858. Letter. Good. Letter. 8" x 10". 4 pages. 3 pages of contents. Page 4 clipped section at bottom. Paper folded and in very good condition otherwise. <br /> <br /> Letter written aboard the USS Atlanta at Barbados December 27 1858. Eggleston writes: "I am perfectly willing to leave Barbados and its free impertinent darkies. I would like to lasso some 50 or 100 and put them to work in a cotton field. I am convinced that such a field is the only one in which the darky character can be truly developed. Here they do nothing but stroll about the streets & chatter like so many monkeys from sunrise to sunset. We employ them to coal our vessels and how I have wished for Jack Stringer with a bull whip among them whenever I have had anything to do with them". <br /> <br /> Eggleston would later serve as a Lieutenant on the CSS Virginia and was later promoted to Captain in the Confederate Navy. Eggleston was one of the lieutenants of the Virginia Merrimac during its life under the Confederate flag. During his life Eggleston provided details of the legendary battle of the two ironclad ships which can be found under various web sites. n.p. unknown
22407Whitehall 29 July 1707. 2 pp. 12 x 8 inches integral blank leaf neatly mounted docketed concerning Mr Holder one of the Councill of Barbadoes. The Board of Trade and Plantations regulated foreign commerce enforced trade and navigation acts supervised colonial administration and negotiated commercial treaties. In 1706 the colonial assembly of Barbados a British colony enacted legislation that led to one of the more unusual monetary experiments in history creating a fiat domestic currency that was virtually legal tender. The legislation sparked a strong protest from merchants slave traders and other English traders the creditors in the economy of Barbados. The British Board of Trade acted to force the redemption of the paper money but the episode reveals the secret war between debtors and creditors that often surfaces when monetary institutions are evolving.

Sir Philip Meadows 1626-1718 had a distinguished career as a diplomat representing Cromwell in international treaty negotiations.
