Letter to Jonathan Williams, Sr. | 1770 June 6 | ALS, 2p. | ||
"So much engaged during sitting of Parliament could not correspond regularly with all his friends. Inquired after fate of tickets (lottery), found whole cost not lost; ventured to take two more for him (J.W.), if not wanted send to Messrs. Smith, Wright, Grey. Inquires after father-in-law. Would have given intimation of intention of government with regards America if possible, but affairs very uncertain due to constant changes. Some for severe and others for lenient measures; impossible yet to say which opinion will prevail; knows dispute is thought dangerous. Thanks him (J.W.) and cousin Hubbard for kindness to friend Hughes." Other Descriptive Information: Location: See Mss.B.F85.b (1-7) Access digital object: | ||||
