Scope and Contents

Whitney chides Richards for the brevity of his recent letters, and reports the birth a son, Frederic Anthony. He reports the dissolution of his business partnership, intending to proceed "on my own account", despite a lack of funds. In response to an inquiry from Richards about relocating to Charleston, he states that ". . .there is nothing in your line of business going on here there are numbers of vacant stores with high rents. . . ."
