Why did Rufus King express concern about Bird, Savage & Bird?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • In 1802, Rufus King, American ambassador to Britain, instructed them to make a routine payment.
  • The firm was reluctant to fully comply with the payment request.
  • This reluctance led King to fear their affairs might be embarrassed.
  • His fears were realized in early 1803 when the firm failed.
