Seller's notes: Financial history of American Revolution is not well documented. This group of 8 letters shows a detailed account of the workings of the Continental Loan Office of the State of Rhode Island. Most complete account of the workings of that office for an individual state and especially an account of Rhode Island's contribution to the war effort in a financial way.
