Thirteen letters and three journals related to William Young McAllister, son of a prominent merchant, John McAllister of Philadelphia, Pa. William was travelling with his cousin, Alexander Young, south to St. Augustine, Fla. The letters are chiefly from his father, who offers advice on things to do, people to meet, and sight-seeing; advice given with his son's future career in business in mind. The three journals contain descriptions of Southern customs and people, particularly in Florida. One journal is entirely devoted to St. Augustine.
