Download The Company Broome & Platt to Henry Knox Regarding Their Contract with John Blackburn of London, 6 September 1785 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The writer, on behalf of the firm of Broome & Platt, encloses documents detailing the correspondence between the firm and its creditors in England, as requested. Outlines the firm's dealings with John Blackburn, of London, who until July 1783 was apparently on good terms with the firm. Invited them to come to London to settle their business whenever convenient, so Mr. Platt left in December 1783 and arrived London in mid-January 1784. Upon calling on Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Platt found a clause which had artfully been kept from us: unbeknownst to them, their contract with Mr. Blackburn stated that if they did not arrive prior to 1 January 1784, all the clauses were null and void, and the contract would no longer protect them. Mr. Blackburn then forced Mr. Platt to agree to pay compound interest, and give notes Including Interest, rather than receive rough treatment from their hands. Makes arrangements to receive the documents back from Samuel Shaw when Shaw and Knox are done reading them.
