Sinclair (Moshi) to Gipson (typed letter acknowledges letter of September 15 remarking on the situation in England exceeding expectations referring to Beamish\u27s forecasting a crash. East Africa\u27s affairs are in the background but the efforts made seem to have good effect. Sinclair reports that Adm. Beamish is retiring and hope is that H.H. Beamish be nominated to replace him. Sinclair refers to "the old Manuscript" and its author – most of what Sinclair knows about it is from his grandmother.) Scanned 1932 April 11 from P.J. Sinclair (Moshi) to Gipson (handwritten letter "In view of events in England I did not send the papers relating to Beamish and De la Mothe as I first intended and I hope for some culminative event to round them off, when you would then have had a full perspective view point which would have enabled you to judge of the matter as a whole. However the papers I now send will hold some interest for you I think as they are by no means dry in themselves but hold the interest in a way which is only possible when dealing with the personal element. Your "Studies in Colonial Connecticut Taxation," is intensely interesting and somewhat parallels our case in degree, and I could not stop until I had read every word of it. Thank you very much for sending it I greatly appreciate it.\u27) Scanned (Unrelated handwritten jottings but dates mentioned are interesting "Excise 1785-1786, Phila. 1786 on brown folded paper possibly in Gipson\u27s handwriting) 1932 April 11 from P.J. Sinclair to Gipson (handwritten letter "The paper herein For a mosaic of actual history being the minor facts which make up the Tapestry and the threads of which are rarely seen. As I mentioned before it would be dangerous and not right to expose them to publicity at present, but I understand well your interest as a scholar and historian in the true facts and therefore I leave them to you with confidence.")
