Merchants' letter book and accounts, 1645-1666.

Correspondence and accounts of a number of London merchants engaged in international trade, especially with Italy during the period when English commerce there revived, notably at Leghorn. Includes letters and accounts, 1659-1664, written by Henry Mellish and Henry Browne, mostly at Leghorn, to John Chapman, Edmond Harvy, Henry Sanders, and other London merchants about trade, especially silk. Accounts, 1650-1653, for routine personal and business expenses were kept in London by Thomas Godwin for Henry Langham. Three letters, 1666, to John Gisborne of London concern the lead trade. The columns for shipping accounts, 1645-1646, were written but not used.
