William Gay Butler letter to Maria Butler and Jonathan Butler 2nd, 1824 November 16

Letter addressed from Brownhelm, Ohio to Maria Butler in Hartford, for 25 cents postage. The thin paper is torn and stained with red wax residue where it was sealed. William Gay Butler writes to his father Jonathan Butler in West Hartford on his arrival in Brownhelm. They arrived on Thursday and will leave again the next day for Columbus, Chillicothe, Zanesville, and back to Pittsburgh. Business has been poor since he left Pittsburgh, and William writes that they have seen some good and some extraordinarily bad roads; "we like some of the Countrey verrey well and some not attall." He called on Thearon and Erastus Seymour, Mr Collins, and others, and found them all well, and says he will write a more particular account to Hiram Roberts in a few days.
