A. Phillip letter to R.C. Griffith, 1793 June 12.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/69937100

Phillip writes to Mr. R.C. Griffith, 12 June 1793, a formal letter saying that Mr. Griffith's proposal has not been approved by the Under Secretary of State. The letter was probably sent from London, England, because Phillip was living there at this time after his return from Australia. Phillip officially resigned as governor of New South Wales on 10 Oct. 1793 (Cf. Mackaness, G. Admiral Arthur Phillip, p. 411). The letter is written on paper with watermark "I Taylor," which apparently belonged to papermaker John Taylor (Cf. Gravell & Miller. Cat. foreign watermarks, p. 240-241).
