Napoleonic letter
AT a recent virtual meeting, member Suzanne Dwyer gave a presentation on a letter from the times of the Napoleonic Wars.
It is a complete letter, dated 16 January 1795 from an English businessman and his wife. Their business was supplying the navy, particularly during the time of the American War of Independence.
It was sent to their son, showing their concern about him leaving Portsmouth while 'the fleet is in so critical a situation.
