Title James McHenry, Orwigsburg, Schuylkill Co., Pennsylvania, to his brother-in-law, Thomas Moore, Baltimore, Maryland, 30 [or 10?] July 1817
Description McHenry now strongly advises Moore to leave Baltimore, move to Orwigsburg, and take up medical practice, in which McHenry promises to train him . McHenry seems desperate for companionship from kinsmen and old neighbors from Lame, and expects his wife and family to arrive soon. His letter illustrates occupational fluidity and the casual status of the medical "profession" in early America.
