Autograph letter signed
Title: to Robert Livingston re: news from New York
Jamison sends word of Lord Cornbury's ill-fated first voyage to the colonies (the ship being forced to return to Plymouth, England when it lost its masts), as well as of a war in Europe in which Germany is fighting France and Sweden is fighting both Denmark and Russia ("the Saxons & Muscovites"). He also writes of a great offense to the Chief Justice of the province, and of legal machinations occuring over John Livingston's importation of (illegal) wine & brandy. Docketed on verso.
