Title Samuel Brown, Philadelphia, to brother, David, Belfast, 25 December 1815
Description Takes pride in the fact that "our family ... has no pride or ostantation" (Jeffersonian republicanism). Eldest daughter, Eliza, has died in April 181 5. " ... your son William Expresses a wish to Come to this Country from a Letter he wrote to James (Samuel's nephew) and if he continues in the same mind I think the oppertunity favourable as James will Require a Partner who the [painting and glazing] Business I think I shall give up nearly the whole". [Samuel says that the ship will arrive in Cork to unload its cargo but his friend the captain would then proceed to Belfast "to see his relations"].
