The Jesuit Press Documents Relating to Parks and Green

twenty pounds of tobacco is almost equal to a moidore in money and quite
a little more than an English guinea.

In 1765 an act of Assembly allowed him forty-eight thousand pounds of
tobacco for session years, and thirty-six thousand one hundred and nine
pounds for years in which there were no sessions, and at this rate of pay-
ment Green worked until his death two years later. In the session of 1768
his widow, Anne Catharine Green, was appointed public printer and an act
passed for her encouragement at the above mentioned salary.
