FOOTNOTES [1] Collectors estimate the loss to numismatography as very great by reason of the temptation the gold possesses for hoarding, and they are possibly the only class of people who have any apology to offer for the miser.

MORRIS TO RICHARD YATES. “PHILAD’A, Jan. 23, 1782. “SIR, “At the request of a very honest Man who seems much distressed for the welfare of his wife, now in London, I beg to trouble you with the enclosed Letter, praying that you will forward it, and if in consequence thereof Mrs. Dudley should come to New York, I beg of you to procure Liberty for her to come to her Husband at this place. The money for her Passage and reasonable expenses in New York, which must be reasonable as possible, she may draw upon her Husband, Mr. Benjamin Dudley, and I engage that the Draft shall be paid. I shall thank you for your attention to this poor Lady when she arrives, and remain Sir, “your most obedient and humble servant ROBERT MORRIS.” “2.—ROBT. MORRIS TO THE COMMISSARY GENERAL OF PRISONERS. “PHILAD’A, Jan. 23, 1782. “SIR, “I send herewith an open letter for Mr. Richard Yates containing one for Mrs. Dudley in London, from her Husband now here. I wish these may be safely delivered to Mr. Yates, and therefore pray you to send them into New York, by some person that will not only promise, but perform the delivery of them. I am Sir, “your most obedient and humble servant ROBERT MORRIS.” [5] This letter will illustrate this subject: ROBERT MORRIS TO THE REV. WILLIAM GORDON, D. D.
