Identifier(s): apsrevcity:9182
Description: Letter from Charles Willson Peale to Edmund Jennings about his current business and personal finance. He explains that his trip to Philadelphia and Annapolis did not make him money, although his creditors thought it should. Peale explains that the goal of going to Philadelphia was "to establish a name there." He also describes spending time repainting pictures that "my friends at Annapolis [...]" complained had "faded". He then describes traveling to Virginia and remarks on the "difference of disposition between the Southern and Northern colonies Pennsylvania and Virginia being a perfect contrast." These trips, Peale claimed, allowed him to get out of debt. "I rejoice that the times have allowed me to do so much. But alas, I fear I shall have no more to paint and that I will remember your once telling me that when my brush should fail that I must take the musket." Peale continues by discussing the forthcoming war. He describes loyalists arriving in England and Scotland and describes George Washington. Peale concludes the letter by discussing more specifics about unrest in America and writes about Thomas Gage.; American Philosophical Society
