Letter from Richard Peters to William Smith, Oct. 12, 1762

Creator:

Peters, Richard, 1704-1776 (creator)

Name:

Smith, William, 1727-1803

Date:

1762-10-12

Description:

John Allen delivered Smith’s letters to Peters. The dissenters are blaming Smith for the problems with Mr. Beatty’s commission. Jonathan Alexander Stedman has not been at his iron works and Mr. Chew is busy with a crowded Supreme Court thus making it very difficult for Peters to get letters of reference to Smith. Peters wants more information on the argument between Smith and Franklin. Peters finds Smith was also wrong in the Beatty case as well. He reports that the Smith family is doing well in the country but that many in the town are still sick.
