Partial, unsigned letter addressed to James Morrison. Letter's contents describe the sinking of the ship Swift Bay in the English Channel following an accident, along with news and speculation about the American Revolutionary War (including Montgomery's defeat at Quebec), as well as discussion of a drop in the price of beaver pelts which the writer attributes to the events of the war.
