"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Ship's manifest, dated 29 March 1792 at New London, Connecticut, signed by Jedediah Huntington, collector of the port, a post he was assigned in 1789 after serving as a General in the Continental Army. The manifest for the sloop Juno gives permission to Robert Niles, the ship's master, ''…to proceed to the place of his destination…'' The thirty-eight tons of cargo included seven hogsheads of rum, sixteen hogsheads of molasses and thirty-four cheeses. Minor paper loss to the 7.75'' x 6.5'' document, else very good.
