Title Anthony Doyle, St. Louis, Missouri, to his brother and friends, Carique [?], County Wexford, 31 May 1819
Description Anthony Doyle informs his brother of how good land may be obtained for $2 per acre, with a mutual acquaintance, Mr Roche, getting 1000 acres above St Louis. Doyle is going to take 320 aces of good land "in some healthy place" and will give 160 acres to his brother if he comes out. He claims that all white men of good virtue will do well there but that some poor Irish there for the past twenty years have only themselves to blame. He relates news of others there from Wexford while advising his brother on the best travel routes and how they can be successful in business and farming. He thinks the Irish at home are unaware of the chances to be had in America "for men of foresight". [Carique is likely Carrick, Co. Wexford].
