Travel journal, 1768-1797 (inclusive) 1796-1797 (bulk).

Travel journal, March 15, 1796-April 10, 1797, covering a voyage from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Canton, China, and return. The interesting, articulate narrative (in the form of an extended letter to a Philadelphia friend named Doble) is virtually all devoted to the passsage, with only brief mention of his business at Canton (August-November 1796) in connection with a factory. Haight was a passenger on the ship Wooddrop Sims (John B. Hodgson, captain).
