Title |
John Taylor Gilman to John Langdon |
Scope & Content |
Two-page letter from John Taylor Gilman in Philadelphia to John Langdon in Portsmouth. Advises Langdon of the prudence of having "a Vote in Congress," i.e., in having a delegate in Philadelphia at the Continental Congress - meaning that, although New Hampshire is hard-up for money, some way ought to be found to pay for a delegate from the state to attend. The news from Holland is good - five of its states have agreed to acknowledge the independence of the United States. The harbor is blocked and consequently, the price of goods has risen. Some goods are coming down from Boston and profit being made on the necessity by those conducting the business. Dated June 26, 1782. |
