Susannah Carnes letters, ca. 1783-1794.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36866179

In a letter (ca. 1783) to "Mrs. Carnes," William [Loughton] Smith, her brother, expresses his disappointment at being detained from seeing his family again as soon as he had hoped and offers congratulations on her marriage to Captain Carnes. Letter (1794 March 4) to Susannah Smith Carnes from cousin Eliza Drayton forwards a charm (prayer) for "the fever & ague" (included with the letter) which Drayton hopes will be of help to Carnes' son Patrick (d. 1808?).
