Flahavan & Willcox. Flahavan & Willcox letterbook, 1784-1792.

Title: Flahavan & Willcox letterbook, 1784-1792.

The collection consists of one holographic letterbook (1784-92) of the Philadelphia merchant company of Flahavan & Willcox. The letters cover the period April 14, 1784 to November 16, 1792. The letters describe establishing accounts with European suppliers, price structures for buying and selling merchandise, and inquiries to ships' captains to secure ships outfitted to accomodate bulk and weight of cargo. Correspondence with American retailers - John Dysart of Petersburg, Virginia and John Mahon of Wilmington, North Carolina - include ordering and purchasing of goods and repeated attempts to collect debts owed to the firm. Occasionally, references are made to non-mercantile interests. A letter dated April 24, 1786, asks that a Rotterdam firm attempt to sell lands in the vicinity of those owned by General Washington on the Potomac River. General Washington had been put in charge of a government project to clear the area for settlement. A letter dated September 12, 1788 to Thomas Newman of New York refers to the argument over paper money and the New York legislature's slowness to adopt the Constitution. A letter of August 14, 1789 by Thomas Flahavan gives instructions for purchasing slaves.
