Title James Richey, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to his parents, Ireland, 15 September 1826
Description James Richley responds to his brother Andrew's letter, thankful to hear from home, but wonders if William, his doctor brother, "has forgotten he has a brother in the Wilds of America". He admonishes his parents for objecting to his sister's wedding and going against their match, saying "who had a rite to choose a partner for life than herself". He advises his brother Andrew not to be afraid of the sea in travelling to America and that he would care for him on his arrival, while also paying for his passage.
