American merchant and shipmaster from Boston (1743–1828). After serving as a delegate to the Continental Congress and as a privateer during the Revolutionary War, he became one of the most notorious members of the Essex Junto. ALS, one page, 6.5 x 8.25, June 29, 1791. Higginson writes to a fisherman, in part, of the “fish & mackerel tax you ordered…each article is very good & bought at the lowest rate.” He instructs that “you will get them inspected in Yorke to recover the drawback of the duty on salt, and will direct certifications to be returned of the landing abroad.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, light creasing, a tear to the left edge, a few areas of paper loss to the top edge, tape on the reverse, and a pencil notation to the bottom left corner.
