Letter from William C. Newell in Morristown, TN, to B.R. Loxley in Philadelphia, PA, 1842 October 22 Scope Note: Morristown E. Ten. Oct. 22nd 1842
Mr. B.R. Loxley
Dear Sir
Enclosed, I send you one Dollar, Bk of the State of So. Ca. I am desirous of obtaining Haven's Chart on the Subject of Baptism, and I suppose it can be conveyed by mail safely, if one without a back can be had, and enclosed in strong paper. If they can be conveyed in this manner without injury, I make no doubt many persons about here would purchase after having once seen them.
But if you have none on hand that can be sent by mail, and cannot obtain such without too much inconvenience, please send me the value of the bill in the Baptist Almanac & Register for 1843.
William C. Newell
[Note in Margin:] A. No 61 pay to L.S. Whitaker as office in Charleston, dated 13 Feb 1841
