An advertisement appearing in the Boston Daily Advertiser of February 14, 1817, reads in part: "Havana.--Samael Curson [Samuel Carson?] and George Knight, inform their friends and the public, that they have formed a Copartnership in trade, under the firm of Miralla & Co. for the purpose of transacting American Commission Business in Havana." No further record or mention of the firm could be found.
