Description

James Ricketts wrote from his friend Jacksons to Julian Niemcewicz, unaddressed. James transcribed notes from his personal diary documenting his voyage from Elizabethtown, New Jersey to England. In one entry James recalled their encounter with a French Privateer ship. They sent an officer on board their ship who after examining their ship’s papers, wanted their Captain to go with him. The Captain refused to leave the ship but sent the first mate with the ship’s register. In another entry James describes the King’s Yacht.
