Title "M. D", Philadelphia, to her uncle, Daniel M., [Magherafelt], County Derry, 9 July 1836
Description It is possible that the author's first name is Margaret. She defers to her bother "F." about whether cousin Henry should emigrate. However, she is enthusiastic about American economic prosperity during the speculative boom just prior to the Panic of 1837: wages, prices, and markets are higher than ever before, she observes.
