A Critical Letter on Treaties and Pirates from 1737
A 1737 correspondence from Ratcliffe Cross laments Spanish piracy and urges firmer enforcement of treaty terms. The writer questions the Havana and Porto Rico stance, details potential abuses of passports and sea letters, and defends Jamaica rights and Bay of Campeachy claims. He cites Panama, Honduras, and Utrecht issues, warns against lax enforcement, and notes port arrivals in Liverpool and Bristol.
