Letters from William Tudor to Thomas Handasyd Perkins,

Four letters on topics including the capture of an American ship, the General Carrington, at Callao, Peru, and the loss and damage incurred; the movements of Simón Bolívar and the state of the conflicts with Spain; the impact of the war on trade, with details on prices and speculation in goods like foodstuffs and domestic quicksilver; and the "deteriorating" condition of American merchant seamen.
