Papers of Richard Corbin [manuscript] 1746-1795.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647927819

This collection contains a tobacco book, 1746-1795, with entries for each year's crop, and also the letterbook, 1758-68, of Corbin. There are many financial letters in the letter, both Corbin's own and letters regarding his position as Receiver General of His majesty's revenue. There are reports to Robert Dinwiddie on the Virginia General Assembly's actions and many comments on the financial aspects of the French and Indian War. Of interest are letters on the settling of William Byrd's affairs and a letter of instruction on the care of slaves and livestock. With the collection is the diary, 1773-75, of John Harrower, a Scottish emigrant who went to England and Virginia in search of employment. Correspondents include Mann Page, Ralph Wormeley, John Blair, Philip Grymes, Philip Ludwell, James Semple, and John Semple.
