Extract From 1805 Letters and Notices in Tortola to Philadelphia
An 1805 correspondence summary includes a Lloyd’s style directive to naval commanders about neutral trade and blockades, a Philadelphia Medical Society fundraising note signed by Dorsey, Hutchinson, and Coxe, and imperial compliments for Robert Livingston. Also printed are Swedish royal orders on Malaga contagion, quarantine rules, and a Surinam proclamation authorizing limited imports, plus a British debate on salt tax and its effects on the poor with parliamentary exchanges.
