Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Harrison thanks McMaster for $5.00, and says he immediately invested it in knitting wool which he sent to a lady in Charleston, S.C. who has been stripped of all. Her letter requesting some worsteds for her to knit and some little shoes to sell so she can earn a livelihood, was received the same time as McMaster's letter. He will dispose of some shoes for her benefit. The change for her, from wealth to poverty must be very sad. He sent a lady in Richmond $41, but still has the hair to dispose of, and no "shoddy's" head shall be adorned by it. He regrets to hear of the illness of McMaster's wife, but hopes she is recovered. He thanks McMaster for sending papers to friends, and was delighted with Mr. Wises speech in this week's Journal. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
