1831réf. List3518New York City 1831. Two-page printed circular measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches with manuscript note from Aaron H. Palmer. Folded with some small tears larger tear at seal not intersecting with text. Overall excellent. Aaron Haight Palmer 1779–1863 was the director of the “American and Foreign Agency for Claims”—essentially a high-end collections agency—and later Consul General of the Republic of Ecuador. He was extremely well-connected and his activities included a tour of Europe and Asia to gather information about commerce there for the Rothschilds.1 Offered here is an 1831 circular from Palmer’s Agency signed by Palmer and sent to A. Lang Esq. in Selkirk Scotland. The circular advertises the sale of “a large tract of land lying on the Gulf of Mexico in East Florida” which “is owned in sole propriety by Richard S. Hackley Esq. an American citizen.” Hackley 1770–1843 a merchant and later US Consul in Spain had been deeded twelve million acres of land around present-day Tampa by the Duke of Alagon in 1819—who himself had been granted the land by Ferdinand VII in 1817. The circular extols the virtues of the land for sale especially Tampa as “a favorable site for the foundations of a great maritime city” and Chatham Bay’s “proximity to the West India markets”. At the time Florida was in the midst of the Seminole Wars; the Treaty of Payne’s Landing would soon demand that all Indigenous people in Florida leave for Indian Territory. It is not clear what came of Palmer’s attempt to sell Hackley’s land; the latter’s heirs’ claims to his estate were settled in 1908 when the US Supreme Court decided that the Kingdom of Spain had annulled the grant prior to the Adams-Onís Treaty giving Florida to the US. We find one copy of the circular on OCLC. Of interest to historians of the settlement of Florida. 1 Jessica Lepler “‘There is no need for anyone to go to America’: commercial correspondence and nineteenth-century globalisation” Rothschild Archive https://www.rothschildarchive.org/materials/no_need_to_go_to_america.pdf accessed February 12 2026. unknown books

Orlando Florida traces its roots back to the 1830s during a period marked by the Seminole Wars where the U.S. Army built Fort Gatlin south of the present-day Orlando city limits to protect settlers from attacks by Native Americans. By 1840 the area around Fort Gatlin was settled leading to the growth of a small community that by 1856 was known as Jernigan named after the Jernigan family who established the first permanent settlement. The name Orlando was adopted in 1857 though the origin of the name is subject to various legends one of the most popular claims it was named after Orlando Reeves a soldier who allegedly died in the area during the Second Seminole War. The city was officially incorporated in 1875 and by the late 19th century Orlando became a significant hub for Florida's citrus industry. The Record Company unknown books
