A.W. Dinsmore letter to Matthew Boyd Hope, 2 January 1844.

Letter from A.W. Dinsmore in Richmond, Kentucky to Mathew Boyd Hope of Philadelphia, Pa. Dinsmore writes regarding his work as a regional publication agent for the Biblical Repertory, a Presbyterian periodical later which later became the Princeton Review. Dinsmore notes that due to unpleasant weather, bad roads, and complaints of "hard times," his work is "rather a dull business." He mentions accounts with various clients in the region including William McGuffey. He writes, "W.H. McGuffey paid me for the year 1843 and requested me to inform you he wishes it discontinued. He gave as a reason that . . . his pecuniary affairs are embarrassed."
