    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Joseph Proctor to John Proctor]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Joseph Proctor writes to his brother John, about the state of Americans in England on the eve of the Civil War. Proctor is pro-Union. He informs his brother that the English government proposes a "strict new treaty" and will likely find "some pretext" to interfere "in our quarrel with the South." Joseph feels he has been advised not "to remain in this country." He needs $400-500 to close up his affairs. It is costly "to keep up appearances in this country." Some Americans have lost their jobs and are going home. Most actors are not getting any share of the thearter revenue with attendance down so. Joseph plans to act with Douglas in two weeks at his 'Eastern Opera House &amp; Pavilion' starting on June 17th. He asks his brother to find a person to carry sovereigns, no, make that American gold, to him at 28 Surry St., Strand.  Geo. Peabody &amp; Co. will hold remittances for sixty days while others charge a steep fee for foreign exchange.  Many men are out of work in the manufacturing cities here. This war is sad, but "providence" brought it. Joseph asks his brother to destroy this letter and not to tell the women all of this dire news because it may become too public. Part of Proctor's letter is written in a cross-hatch style on blue paper. The date of this letter is from the context only.]]></dcterms:description>
