Dr. Richard Henry Stuart to George Washington Lewis, 1856 February 15

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 72

Scope and Contents

Stuart sends Jim, probably an enslaved worker who is anxious to see his family, to Lewis. Jim travels by horse due to the bad condition of the roads. He will delay his own visit, as his own children have the mumps. He also thanks Lewis for the speech he has sent for his boys to study when they are older.
