This collection consists of two positive photocopies of letters from John McIntosh Mohr, 1741. The first letter, written to Harman Verelst, recounts Mohr's role in the siege of St. Augustine as a commander under General Oglethorpe, explains his capture by the Spanish, describes his civil treatment by the governor of Havana, and describes his present misery in a Spanish jail and urges that all efforts be made to secure his release. The second letter, written to Alexander Mackintosh, recounts the battle of St. Augustine where he was captured by the Spanish, tells of his transport to Havana and of his present confinement in a jail in 'Old Spain,' where he subsists on bread and water; Mohr also notes that there are many Spanish prisoners in England and asks Alexander to apply his diligence in securing an exchange.
