http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191045631

Personal and business papers of Antonio Patrick Walsh. Documenting his military career in Europe and colonial Louisiana and his involvement in maritime shipping, the early papers in the collection consist of military orders from Spanish authorities conveying instructions to Walsh regarding ships he is to procure for use in possible hostilities with the British; passports granting Walsh entrance to Philadelphia, Pa., Vera Cruz, Mexico, Bordeaux, France, and other cities; and documents concerning Walsh's employment on the ship Louisiana. They include a letter from Manuel Gayoso de Lemos, the Spanish governor of Louisiana, commending Walsh for his military service on the Louisiana; papers related to cargoes of goods shipped from Vera Cruz, Mexico, to New Orleans, La.; a letter from Baron de Carondelet concerning the arming and staffing of the ship Louisiana; and a letter from Andres Lopez de Armesto, secretary of the government of the Spanish province of Louisiana and West Florida, naturalizing Walsh as a citizen of the province and mentioning his service as commander of squadron of galleys of the Mississippi. Later papers reflect Walsh's more settled life as the owner of a cotton plantation in West Feliciana Parish. They comprise receipts from merchants for purchases of building implements, foodstuffs, clothing, and other dry goods; bills of sale for the purchase and sale of slaves; travel to Dublin, Ireland, to visit family and attend the wedding of his daughter, Maria; letters concerning cotton growing and trade; and documents related to debts owed to and by Walsh. Included among the papers are a bank book and a memorandum book.
