http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37522809

Letters to Gabriel Manigault include a letter (1805) from his wife Margaret concerning family matters and a riding accident; and letters (1807, 1808) from his brother Joseph Manigault concerning the Chesapeake-Leopard affair of June 22, 1807, the possible effects of war on South Carolina, prices of meat and wine, bonds with Mr. Middleton and Mr. Gibbes, negotiations with Mr. [Nathaniel] Heyward regarding Heyward's possible purchase of Pumpkin [Pompion] Hill Plantation, the embargo, and his hopes that the embargo will "bring all our enemies to reason, and convince them that they cannot dispense with our produce and our vessels." Joseph Manigault's letters also reference Gabriel Manigault's sale of the Oaks Plantation (at Goose Creek, Berkeley County, S.C.) to Mr. Deas; mention that the horse races will be well attended despite the scarcity of money; and include an estimate of the value of lot no. 1 on John Street in Charleston (S.C.) and Samuel Wragg's lot on Meeting Street opposite the mall (likely Wragg Mall).
