Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Family Letters of Samuel Blachley Webb: 1764 1807 Young Samuel Blachley Webb naturally fol lowed the profession of his father, and sent ships to the West Indies laden with horses, wheat, and provisions, the chief articles exported from Connecticut. On some of these ventures he went in per son, and became acquainted with life in the islands, forming mercantile connections which promised future advantage, and mastering the elements of commerce under favorable conditions. To be engaged in trade with such men as Jeremiah Wadsworth of Connecticut and John Alsop of New York, opened a prospect of profitable and permanent success, for they commanded the confidence of their clients and possessed the needed capital. The one disturbing influence was his step-father, Silas Deane, whose political career is well known, but whose honesty in money matters becomes open to question in the light of letters printed in this volume. He appears to have appropriated to his own use what belonged to his wards, and no accounting was possible after he went to France.
