Letter written by Samuel Day to his family while visiting Newark, New Jersey in September 1858.BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sam Day, Sr. (1845-1925) arrived in Arizona in 1883 to survey extensions to eastern and southern boundaries of the Navajo reservation for the federal government. At the time his wife, Anna, and their three boys Sam, Jr. (1889-1944), Charles Day (1879-1918) and William remained in Colorado. The family joined Sam, Sr. in Arizona, where they staked out a homestead at Cienaga (Sinagee). He was elected to the Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1906 and served two terms in the Arizona House. From 1920 until his death in 1925 he held the post of United States Indian Commissioner. Sam, Sr., moved from Sinagee in 1901. His Sinagee ranch became part of the St. Michaels Mission. He joined son Charlie at Bill Meadows trading post, but eventually moved to the mouth of Canyon de Chelly and with his sons, Sam, Jr. and William, established what was to become the famous Thunderbird Trading Post.

Based onthematerials ofthememoirs ofthe participants ofthe events andthe businesscorrespondence ofthe embassywiththe British government, the activities of the British ambassador to Spain, Samuel Hoare, who held the post from 1940 to 1944, are considered. It is shown that the effectiveness of his actions grew not only in simultaneously with the success of the allies in the war, but also due to the strengthening of economic cooperation between the two countries. The author comes to the conclusion that the success of most of the major diplomatic treaties between England and Spain during this period depended precisely on the supply of the necessary resources.

This book overturns many myths, including the idea that India was subordinated to British economic interests. It demonstrates that those involved in Indian finance did work in the best interests of India and were well aware of how Indian finance was very closely intertwined with the City of London and the wider British economy, both the City and the wider economy being at risk if the finances of India were not well managed
