Description
James Ricketts wrote to an unknown person (possibly Susan Kean), unaddressed. Ricketts informed his correspondent that he had just finished their sister’s letter of the 19th and had the pleasure of receiving a long letter from his boy, James. James gave an account of his proceedings abroad a Frigate. James was delighted with the new captain, who offered him free use of his library. James was so taken with the city of Cadiz that he drew a sketch of it. He planned on leaving Cadiz as soon as another Frigate joined them then they were going to sail up the Mediterranean. Ricketts informed his correspondent that two years to the day, they had arrived home. This document is undated.
