Samuel R. Fisher letter to Thomas Rotch, Philadelphia 3 mo 26, 1814

Samuel Fisher acknowleges the receipt of monies from a bank that he has forwarded to Thomas Rotch at Kendal. He discusses the disruption and confusion in the banking system in Philadelphia, however amid confusion there is 'a scarcity of money so that we cannot foresee the end or the consequences.' He tells Rotch that if any remittances come into his hands on Rotch's account, he will use only the Pennsylvania Bank and no other. He also mentions that Rotch's last letter described the construction of a yearly meeting house of Friends in Mount Pleasant 'intended to be ready in 8 month next,' which would have been August, 1814. 7.75" by 9.35" (19.7 x 23.9 cm
