Cuba
1794 (17 Oct.) entire letter from Havana to Newport Rhode Island, written during the Napoleonic Wars and vividly illustrating the communication problems of the time, taking almost nine weeks to reach Philadelphia, forwarded from Bermuda, showing "8/DE" Bishop mark on the front and endorsement signed Elliston and John Perot on the reverse, put into the post at Rhode Island; fine and a fascinating letter.
