Gideon White Family Papers

Capt. Brownrigg to Gideon White, in receipt of letter.

News of their friends in Halifax. "The Governor and I have had two Tangles since I Last saw You, at the last I took my leave of him. I have got the Grant but You and I are entirely thrown off the river, and if You are not at Manchester early in the Spring, we shall be eyphers there - In short your staying so much at Shelburne has irretrievably ruined Us." He hopes "all party matters may subside." "We regulated the Assize of Bread today, 2 lb 5 oz. for 6d. And ordered all Meat to be sold in the market House at Market Hours." Hopes W. will be going to Manchester soon.
