1174. Gideon White Jr. to his brother Cornelius. He reports on his recent voyage to Europe, family news. "On my arrival here I found $35.86 for you which I observed by a letter to Joann you wish forwarded in Corn. I have been at a loss what to do as the winter is so far advanced, the Coasters will be closed in at Shelburne by Ice and the Corn would be in Halifax until spring at the mercy of the rats &c. &c. at length concluded to procure an order on Jno. Clark of Halifax for £ 9.0.0. which you will find enclosed, and trust will meet your approbation." Holograph.
