J. Young letter, 1836.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/276306267

The collection consists of one letter from J. Young to Jonathan Burroughs regarding the sale of a Negro slave boy.

It is valuable also on some of the problems of emigration from an older section of the South and settling in a new country.
