This collection (10 items) is made up of correspondence and legal documents related to the Philadelphia merchant Robert Morris. The first item is a personal letter from Tadeusz Kościuszko, who expressed deep thanks for an unspecified favor (July 14, 1784). Five notarized protests (February 13, 1797-May 5, 1798) and one promissory note (December 10, 1794) pertain to John Nicholson, who failed to deliver on several promissory notes endorsed by Robert Morris. Morris wrote to Nicholson on July 5, 1799, discussing his frustration with a man named Ely ("if he continues obdurate, vengeance shall become the order of the day") and describing successful efforts to lessen the effects of a yellow fever outbreak. The final two items are accounts between Robert Morris and John Conrad Hottinger (December 1798) and a letter to Morris from Lovett Bell of Hyde County, North Carolina, who requested that Morris pay him the $500 he was owed (January 25, 1803).
