| Abstract | A transcription of a letter from William Fleming to Thomas Jefferson. Fleming writes about economic conditions, funding the war, and the depreciation of money. He reflects on the state of the war, describing, what he sees as a "a kind of piratical war". He discusses whether taxes should be levied to pay for the war. Fleming then turns to the need to ratify the Articles of Confederation, complaining about Maryland's intransigence. | ||
