I find this an excruciating tease of a letter. Leonard Flecther, like so many of his kin, went on to become a successful jeweler. Columbian College / District of Columbia / Sept 15. 1821 Dear Cousin [Charles Fletcher] Be pleased to excuse the liberty I take in writing and inform me if you please respecting the suit of R & W Wilson and what they intend doing. If they are determined to [con]tinue the suit I must make different arrangements respecting my affairs for my father is not able nor can he pay the debt and to keep him from being distressed I must return home. I wish you would look to my Cloak that it does not become motheaten for I intend to redeem it as soon as possible for me to get the money. Inform me if you can where Perinoyer [?] is and what about. I called on John P. Foridis the other day but had not the pleasure of seeing his wife she was indisposed. He lives in very handsome style and has a good run of business. Give me all the information you can write soon and you will confer favor on L[eonard]. Fletcher [This message has been edited by wev (edited 04-21-2008).] IP: Logged |

I wouldn't be surprised. The gentleman wrote a thin, linear hand and the ink is somewhat faded. We won't get into the state of my eyes. . . IP: Logged |
