Robert Quary reports to William Blathwayt, 1702-ca. 1703.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71050632

The collection contains two reports from Robert Quary to William Blathwayt, a member of the board of trade for the American colonies. In the first manuscript (1702 September 2, Annapolis) Quary focuses on the state of government in Virginia, and especially on a faction led by James Blair and Benjamin Harrison against Sir Edmund Andros. In the second report (ca. 1703) Quary deals with trade and smuggling in the colonies, along with the state of the government in several of them. He goes on to suggest that the proprietary colonies be made royal colonies, and offers a plan of defense for the colonies based on alliance with, and placation of, the Iroquois.
