Touches on several topics, including recent difficult weather for transatlantic journeys. Comments that the recent financial scares in New York and Philadelphia have had a negative impact on merchants who trade to those places, such as those in London. Discusses the endeavors of their business associates in Ostend (such as George Bell), particularly upcoming ventures in India and China. A note at the bottom of page two, written and signed by Samuel Shaw, indicates that this letter was transmitted by Thomas Randall and received at Boston 23 August 1792. |
