Patterson, John, fl. 1777-1792
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Robert Livingston, Jr. re: attempts to calm tension with England
John Patterson writes that he shall soon set out for Philadelphia, and notes that the people there seem to have become more moderate due to changes in the Assembly. In addition to this more moderate political sensibility, Patterson hopes that the export trade with England will be opened soon. He also expresses a desire for some kind of reconciliation with Great Britain, and thankfully believes that the peace of New York is secure for the moment. Docketed on verso.
