Title Andrew Richey, Clinton, Mississippi, to his sister, Eliza Phenix, Ireland, 12 March 1838
Description Apologising for his neglect of writing Andrew Richey informs his sister Eliza that he has been preoccupied with business, having sold out "our joint stocks of goods & am settling up my business as quick as possible". He hopes to see everyone at home again but admits "I defer the voyage from year to year as it is so hard to get away from the entanglements of business'. In response to his sister's news of "keeping shop & nursing children" he admits to much experience of the former, but none of the latter (being a single man "in fact almost an old bachelor"). While not religious Andrew professes to be moral in his business dealings as learned from his parents. [The latter part of the letter is much damaged].
