Letter, William Saunders, Placentia, to John Easson

Saunders, apparently a military friend, writes, "it would be the greatest cruelty to think of ordering you to this place. I have Mr. Pringle Wilson to be here to mark out a Battery. You may depend I shall speak to him about you." At the end, "I have sent you a quintal of our Best fish to the care of my Mother at Boston to find you the first opportunity."  11 September 1773.  4 pages : 30 x 36 cm.   Easson family Nova Scotia Archives MG 1 vol. 3478 A/87
