James Lovell to Samuel Holten on Political and Financial Matters, 5 December 1780
Recipient inferred from content (also, handwriting on the docket matches that on other letters). Signed with initials. States that he received his letter. Remarks that he will not send him all the bad news that has come to him since the recipient suffers in mind and body. Prompts him to read the Epistle of Bush to Shippen because the writer criticizes Lovell in it. States that Mr. Adams (John Adams) has defended the resolution of March 18 against the opinions of the Count de Vergennes (Charles Gravier) of France. On March 18, 1780 the Continental Congress had passed a resolution that states Continental dollars will be accepted at a rate of 40:1. He states That France is as much benefitted by trading with us as we are by trading with her. He then discusses currency rates, trade with France and England, and gaining and preserving credit abroad.
James Lovell to Samuel Holten on Financial Matters and the New Constitution, 17 October 1780
States he received his letter yesterday. Mentions he is sorry to hear about the poor health of someone named Sheldon (possibly Jeremiah Shelden). Mentions that Mr. Partridge lent him a scale of depreciation but that he cannot say if it is as acceptable as the continental one. Expects to soon see a printed account of Holten's elections on the new Constitution. Postscript states that General Ward (possibly Artemas Ward) gave Lovell the enclosed and sends his regards.

James Lovell to Samuel Holten Regarding the War Effort and Negligent States, 29 May 1781
Signed with initials. Recipient inferred from context and by comparing the docket to others in the 1450.020 collection. Wants to relay intelligence from Europe but he is concerned about doing so because of an obligation to secrecy. Remarks that the burden will fall on the inattentive and negligent states that are not in the middle of the war effort instead of on the discouraged states actively involved: The Execrations of portenty will fall more justly perhaps on the Inattention and Negligence of the States distant from the immediate Carnage of the War than upon the Despondency and Cowardice of those in which it centers. Postscript mentions stagnant air of Philadelphia and informs that John Adams is well at home.
