<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joepepsi, post: 994016, member: 27229&quot;]This letter and note is one of the reasons I collect these notes. This pairing was a great find and the history is amazing. </p><p>The note itself is a Dec 1763 New Jersey Eighteen Pence with one of the signers being Rich Smith. It is a beautiful note on its own.</p><p>The letter is the icing on the cake. It reads:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>I recd.your favours per Parker and Stone with the Rum which part is yet unsold as I did not like any of the customer that has presented. In short, we don&#039;t hardly know who to trust now a days and cash is very scarce, breakers almost every day. the last rum per Stone is the worst I ever saw and such low proof I am afraid shall not sell it soon,. The market is now flutted with NC rum from Providence R</i><i>hode Island and I hear offered at 1/4 dollar per gallon. I have sold 13 of those per Parker @ 2/2 and 2/1 but the rest won&#039;t sell at 1/11. I shall do the best I can. I han&#039;t&nbsp; hea</i><i>rd a word of the 50 (pounds)l</i><i>awful money from Providence. Yours Rich Smith</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i></i>[ATTACH]95820.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
