From Amos Strettell: Statement of Account
AD: American Philosophical Society
<Monday, October 21, 1776: George McCleave gave mortgages,
dated respectively May 13 and December 18, 1762, to the executors
of Robert Strettell’s estate. On the first mortgage McCleave
paid one year’s interest, £3 12s., and on the second none. Between
November 27, 1765, and May 17, 1768, Mrs. Franklin paid £36
for interest on both mortgages, and in 1772 John Foxcroft paid
£33 19s. The balance due for the four years thereafter is £28 16s.
Amos Strettell hopes that this “Scetch” will answer Franklin’s
purposes, and inquires of him whether he, or the late partnership
of Franklin & Hall, has a claim on the estate of Robert Strettell,
or on the late partnership of Robert and Amos Strettell, or on the
latter alone.>
