- Scope and content:
-
Wish to inform you of the loss of the Brig Fanny. Captain Tucker arrived here today from St. Augustine. He informs us he was taken four days after he sailed approximately 20 miles northward of Cape Hatteras by a Man of War with 20 guns. We will take every necessary step to recover the insurance should you have an opportunity of sending a small cargo of tobacco, flour, bread, and bar iron. I am sure you will make a good adventure as tobacco is now at £20 per 100 pounds.
