Letters to Duncan Campbell [manuscript], 1784-1787.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647893856

The collection contains seven business letters from John Rose, Leeds, Va., and Wicomicoe, Md., to Duncan Campbell, London, explaining at length the problems attending his attempts to collect debts owing to Campbell from before the Revolution. Rose discusses the delays in the new General Assembly over legislation to facilitate the payment of "British debt," and gives detail on the payment of bills, fluctuating rates, individual cases, and commissions. The letter of 1784 May 24 encloses a long list of Campbell's debtors in 1775 including Henry Fitzhugh, Mann Page, Jr., and Henry Lee. With these is a letter to Duncan Campbell from Wmson [?] Ball, one of Campbell's debtors, promising to remit the balance due when he receives an account of sales.
