Paca, William, 1740-1799
Autograph letter signed
Title: to William Homsley
Written by Paca as a state senator in Maryland to Homsley, a resident of Queen Anne County, Maryland. Discusses the market for barley and tries to negotiate a sale with Homsley. Mentions that the enemy's light horse have made an excursion into New Jersey. They have caused mischief with the principle damage being the burning of a courthouse (the town's name is illegible). Says he received a letter from a colonel of militia that says he captured a British colonel and three privates after they had their horses shot from under them.
