David McDonogh to Daniel Wells
-
Description
-
Walter Lowrie went to New Orleans for business and Daniel Wells, Esquire, took on a temporary role of the boys' guardian.
David predicts a cold and severe winter; "therefore I wish you would be so good as to purchase for us some good thick cloth to make us overcoats. We would get it here, but we cannot find anything here fit for an overcoat excepting fine cloth; and moreover the price is too high. I know that in the city you can get better stuff, and get it cheaper than we can here."
"We prefer something dark or in other words any thing that is not white."
David also asks for Wells to forward the Missionary Chronicles which has been missing since August.
