Note
"This day went a mob down to the place where your salte was stor'd in order to take what quantity they wanted of it. I hope you will have the Ring leaders treated as they deserve. The carters this was have agreed to hawl no salte for any one, would recomend ... to send waggons down the country."
"P.S. I will send you the names of some of those gentlemen by the next post."
"As the British tightened the blockade at the Virginia capes, vgast quantities [of salt] were imported throught the shallow North Carolina inlets and sounds and tansported in inland rivers by small boats and overland by 'chains of wagons.'" -- Alonzo Dill. Carter Braxton, Virginia Signer (1983), pp. 93-94. Braxton's efforts and the importance of salt are detailed in the following pages.
