- Summary:
- The correspondence from Greg & Cunningham, the most successful Irish-American trading company during the colonial period, is a remarkable archive for anyone interested in the eighteenth century. These letters cover the first nine months of trade, and present a vivid picture of the transatlantic economy. The private letters between Cunningham in New York and Greg in Belfast are of particular worth, allowing a behind-the-scenes take on the operation.
