A Letter from a Merchant in London to his Nephew in North America, Relative to the Present Posture of Affairs in the Colonies is a pamphlet by Josiah Tucker written at a pivotal moment in the tensions between Britain and its American colonies, the same year the Stamp Act was repealed. Cast as a personal letter from a London merchant to a family member across the Atlantic, the work uses that epistolary framing to address the political and commercial disputes of the era from a British commercial perspective.
