British Black River Colony 1766 (Oct 1): Entire letter to 'Mrs Elizabeth Hodgson, care of William Pitts, Black River, Mosquito Shore', written from an evidently lonely friend of Miss Betsy, "Everything here is perfect but I care not here, I want to be at home", however the writer, probably Mr. Hodgson, was to be called to the Privy Council in London to discuss the Black River Settlements and also discusses hopes for the colony and arguments with the commissioner for the settlement in London. No postal markings but a exceptionally rare, believed to be the sole recorded incoming entire letter. (Image 1)(Image)
