Strickland, William, Sir, 1753-1834. Papers, 1793-1827.

Title: Papers, 1793-1827.

Papers, 1793-1827. They consist of three notebooks; two printed almanacs, one for 1794 printed in London and one for 1795 printed in Philadelphia, both with a few brief manuscript notes on his travels; a bank book for Strickland's account with the Bank of New York, 1794-1795; and about 60 letters to and from Strickland. One notebook, with the cover title American Correspondence, functions as a letter book for 1797-1801, containing lengthy abstracts of letters sent, mostly to Miles Smith, Phineas Bond, William Seton, and John Guillemard, with single letters to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Bartram, John Murray, and others. The letters discuss the war between England and France, the rebellion of 1798 in Ireland, speculation about the destination of the French fleet in 1798-1799, exchange of plants, seed, and produce, the death of Washington, and personal matters. The other two notebooks contain information about places in the United States, copied from his reading. The correspondence consists of letters to Strickland from Miles Smith and other members of his family, and a group of letters to the Rev. John Robinson from Strickland and others, including a copy of a letter from John Guillemard to Strickland, describing Native American life. Miles Smith, a Yorkshireman who accompanied Strickland on his voyage to America in 1794 and settled near Amboy (N.J.), writes about family and political matters, including the War of 1812, and conditions in the United States. A letter from his son, Miles C. Smith, describes a trip to Illinois and Indiana in 1819, and two letters from another son, Hatfield Smith, describe a voyage to Chile in 1822. The Robinson correspondence includes a letter from William Day, a former servant of Strickland's, describing his experiences after emigrating to America in 1822; it also contains letters from Strickland to Robinson, written during his American travels, and letters to Robinson from other people, including Christopher Wyvill (one letter from him is dated 1783), C.S. Duncombe, W. Mason, and others, discussing politics at Yorkshire and national levels, mainly during the 1790s. The papers also contian a copy of the York Chronicle for May 21, 1801.
