Journals and Daily Account books of Robert E. Newman

 

The Following is a letter found in the Journals and Daily Account books of Robert E. Newman period 1786-1811. Reel A40. The Letter is dated 16th April 1808 and addressed to Joseph Connor St. Lawrence.

Note: The photocopier picked up a portion of a previous letter and a portion of another letter, which I have also extracted. It is interesting to note that the company were using Press gang tactics to recruit some of their seaman at Liverpool.
