<B>Whiskey Rebellion Negotiator James Ross Autograph Letter Signed.</B></I> One page, 8" x 14" Pittsburgh, March 28, 1799. James Ross writes in a beautiful handwritten letter to his friend Mr. Cochran after his return from a political trip to Pittsburgh that "<I> ...the government is as usual, and that there are no symptoms of discontent at the land tax and universal condemnation of the violence in North Hampton... </B></I>" at length expressing good wishes for the recovery of Mrs. Cochran. Boldly signed "<I>James Ross</B></I>". James Ross letters are like whiskey runners. They are seldom seen - but when they show up, they are greeted with enthusiasm. <I>From the Henry E.
