Josiah TUCKER (1711–1799), English political economist. L.A.S. (signed at the top in the third person) “The Dean of Glocr,” Gloucester, August 19, 1775, to Mr. Cadel, “Bookseller,” in London; 1 page, quarto size, address on the back; in English (enclosed engraved portrait). He would like to know if many pamphlets have been distributed and if another printing can be ready by November. He reminds Cadel that he has full authority to reprint in London and hopes that the second part will be ready in six weeks. He would be pleased if Cadel could put him in touch with an officer or a friend of the Government to provide him with information on the siege of Louisbourg: “if Mr. Cadel c[oul]d direct him to some officer, or intelligent Friend of the Government, to inform him on some particulars relating to the siege of Louisbourg, in the former War by the New-Englanders—their motives for that expedition, & the tricks they had been playing in their own Government”…
