Watch List notes:

Vintage Document; Pierce Sweetman First of Exchange, 6 £ irish, 1823, Placentia, Newfoundland. Pierce Sweetman sent his son Roger F. to Placentia in 1813 to revitalize a languishing trade. Few Irish merchants influenced migration and colonization overseas to this extent, and none is as clearly remembered for it in Irish Newfoundland folk tradition. Exceptional piece of NFLD History. Writing on the back.
