Social History 1775c.: Second sheet of entire letter to London with straight line COURTRAI handstamp in black and Bishop Mark arrival (April 7) displaying well on flap, charged '10d.' due in manuscript. The cover with outstanding contents concerning Captain Woodes Rogers who rescued Alexander Selkirk (later immortalised by Daniel Defoe as Robinson Crusoe) in 1709: "Selkirk kept an account of the 500 goats which he killed on the Island of J.F. (Juan Fernandez) and caught as many more which he marked on the ear...he seasoned his meat with fruit from the Pimento Trees which is the same as the Jamaica Pepper....rats gnawed his feet and clothes while asleep which obliged him to cherish the cats with his goat's milk by which many of them became so tame...and soon delivered him of the rats!"rnrnRemark: The letter was possibly written by Juliana Ritchie, a woman living in a Benedictine Convent in Courtrai, to Edward Bancroft (17745-1821) a scientist, author and 'Double Spy' for the British and the Americans. Juliana Ritchie had letter communication with Benjamin Franklin about Edward Brancroft which indicates that she was also friend with Bancroft. (Image 1)(Image 2)(Image 3)(Image 4)(Image)
