Further Information & Condition Report

'Washington’s Letters' is a rare volume featuring facsimiles of President George Washington’s correspondence with Sir John Sinclair Bart M.P., originally published in London in 1800. This unique piece comes with its original boards and showcases the bookplate of Sir William Strickland, the 6th Baronet of Boynton, a notable figure known for his passion for natural history and agriculture.

Sir William Strickland, who passed away in 1834, was an avid naturalist with a particular interest in American agricultural practices. His travels to America in 1795 led him to meet Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States (who passed away in 1826). Following his journey, Strickland published a detailed survey on American agriculture, including insights on methods, land prices, and wages in his work 'Journal of a Tour of the United States of America 1794-1795'.

Notably, Sir William Strickland also had a fascination with coins and possibly witnessed the striking of America's first coinage during his time in Philadelphia, as he brought back early examples to his homeland. In 1819, his daughter Priscilla married Charles Winn, the owner of the Nostell Priory estate, who continued the family's legacy.

The American coins that Strickland acquired were passed down through the generations, with his descendant Roland Winn, the 4th Baron St Oswald, eventually selling 30 of these coins at Christie’s in 1964. One of the highlights of this collection was a flowing hair dollar, which fetched almost five million dollars when it was sold as part of the D. Brent Pogue collection in 2015.

This historical volume with ties to prominent figures in both American and British history offers a unique glimpse into the personal correspondence of President George Washington, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
