Letter
Jonathan, & Co Nesbitt to Benjamin Franklin, October 20, 1783
Jonathan & Co Nesbitt informs Benjamin Franklin about insurance arrangements for the ship Nancy, which sailed after the cessation of hostilities, affecting the applicable insurance premium rate. They report a legal dispute in Bordeaux where insurers demand the higher premium despite the ship’s delayed departure, and they seek Franklin’s attention to a letter from Richard Gallwey detailing the case.
