New Ross: From Family to Community
Letter from George Ross to the Earl of Mulgrave, Governor of Nova Scotia
Item discusses the concern Ross has over the shortage of seed potatoes and grain. This situation was a result of several harsh winters that left the people with a shortage of hay, forcing them to feed the potatoes to the cattle. Request the governor to send a supply of grain and potatoes to the most needy of the inhabitants.
