Miscellaneous manuscripts, 1800-1820.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155886864

Letter dated 20 January 1800 to Henry Clymer concerning right of passage through a parcel of land near "Germantown Road." 3 letters to Quaker lawyer and abolitionist Robert Vaux, two dated 3 May 1817 and 21 January 1820 and one undated. All three letters to Vaux contain descriptions of minor revisions to documents that are not included with the letters. The undated letter also mentions the Great Savannah Fire, which broke out 11 January 1820, and suggests taking up a collection to aid the fire's victims, which would also express good will toward the citizens of Savannah despite "differences on the subject of slavery."
