They had water problems and had sent someone to Parliment to ask for help. Four page of interesting reading. Signed by William and Charles Chesson. The second letter is from John Brown while on the Palmyra and he is concerned he won't be paid because he is not wanted in the ship. He continues with a long four-page letter containing many names to be researched. |
