William Pinkney Letter, 1798 June 6
One of three manuscript documents relating to the workings of the Seizure Commission, which began meeting in London well before the Debt Commission began meeting in Philadelphia: long letter (nineteen pages on folio sheets) by William Pinkney, a Maryland lawyer, diplomat, and politician, and a member of the Seizure Commission, dated London, June 6, 1798. Pinkney's letter describes the workings of the Seizure Commission, and gives a lengthy account of its consideration of the case of the seizure of an American ship, the Sally.
William Cunningham & Co. Claim Against the United States, 1798
(Philadelphia: Printed by John Fenno, 1798). 12,[6],72,xix,[1]pp. Quarto. Contemporary marbled wrappers with modern cloth backstrip, paper spine label. This copy comes from the papers of Samuel Sitgreaves, with his ownership signature on the titlepage. It contains contemporary annotations by Thomas Evans. A scarce printing of the financial claims made by William Cunningham and Company against American citizens for debts owed from the Revolution. Cunningham and Company, a merchant house, had extended credit to Virginia planters during the Revolution and claimed to be owed more than a thousand pounds. The Cunningham case was one of the major claims considered by the Debt Commission. This brief seems to have been printed for a limited circulation, probably within the legal and commercial circles concerned with the issues of Revolutionary War settlements. The text outlines Cunningham and Company's claim (with details on the sums owed by their debtors), gives the American commissioners' response, and various other reports from the mixed board of British and American commissioners.
Samuel Sitgreaves's Letter to the British Commissioners, 1799 September 2
The second central document is Sitgreaves's original manuscript draft of a letter to the British commissioners in which he lays out in detail the exact reasons why the Americans have withdrawn from the proceedings. The draft is here in two long manuscript versions -- what appears to be an earlier, rougher, draft of thirty pages on folio sheets, and a later draft of fifty pages on quarto sheets. As Sitgreaves writes, his brief is "the very painful and unpleasant task of explaining the grounds and reasons, whereon we have taken the Resolution then [i.e. in July] communicated to you." Sitgreaves discusses general principles in effect before and after the signing of the treaty, writing that "we will now retrace, as distinctly as we can, the several Principles which, separately, have appeared to us so excessive; and which, collectively, seem totally to change the nature and extent of the stipulation of the Treaty -- to deprive the United States of the Benefit of the Restrictions and Limitations expressly enumerated in their favour -- and, in short, to construct for them a new Bargain, which they never did make and we confidently believe never would have agreed to [these final two words crossed out and changed to "made"]." Sitgreaves also discusses the particulars of specific cases, including those of William Cunningham, Charles Inglis, Andrew Allen, and others. These drafts are very much Sitgreaves' working manuscripts of his brief, containing additions, emendations, cross-outs and corrections throughout. Sitgreaves' letters to Pickering and to the British commissioners demonstrate legal reasoning of the highest order, as well as a sensitive consideration of the goals of the treaty, and of the state of Anglo-American relations.

Sara Logue, 2022
HAS ONLINE CONTENT
Sara details the logistical hurdles faced by the University in managing testing capacities for students returning to campus, leading to the difficult decision of sending staff home to work remotely to alleviate the strain on testing resources. Sara also talks about grappling with the emotional weight of informing international researchers—including one who had traveled from the UK—that their research trips were canceled. Sara reflects on the emotional toll of constantly revisiting the early months of the pandemic and the struggle to find empathy while recognizing that her challenges were not as severe as others'. She highlights the importance of her job, family, and supportive colleagues in sustaining her through the difficult times, and acknowledges the blend of personal strength and vulnerability that defined her journey.
