These 2 letters, dated March 1808, are against the effects of an embargo against Britain and France, put into effect in 1807 by President Thomas Jefferson. Americans would no longer be able to get goods from Europe, which meant that the making of American goods began to rise. William Ely of Washington, D.C., wrote one letter and Stephen Higginson, Junior, of Boston, wrote the other. Thomas M. Pomroy, a printer in Northampton, Massachusetts, printed pieces of the 2 letters.
