Lincoln County No. Carolina
June 14th 1828
Dear Brother,
I embrace the present to write these lines to you and
happy in having to inform you that myself and family are
all enjoying a reasonable portion of good and no
particular occurrence worth relating and making out as
well as usual. Father, mother, and family are all well
and doing. Old grand father Tipps and grand mother are
enjoying a common share of good health for persons of
their age though in the course of nature are becoming
very frail and infirm. As to brother Mathias we have
had no certain information from him for nearly two years
past he failing to write in that length of time except
by accident by an acquaintance the account as far as it
was favorable.
We have no particular occurrence in this country
provision and other necessaries are cheap and plenty but
a great scarcety of money which proves inconvenient for
those involved in debt.
Your letter of the 2d of March last with Mr. Ratttiffs
annexed dirrected or addressed to father where in I
became a great part the subject of the letter is now
before me I observe its contents and am very much
surprised to hear the aggreevance that Mr. Rattiff never
have received from me a reply in answer to his addressed
to me. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
I
acknowledge the receipt of his to the number of four as
well as the one from George Rattiff and to each I think
I gave a satisfactory reply and for warded according to
instruction directed to Charlestown SC by the mail.
I have never received one cent on the papers of Mr. R
though I have used as far I knew all necessary
exer-tions as will appear more esplicit in my letter ac-companaing
this to your care addressed to Mr. Rattiff.
Mr Rattiff in his to father require the papers put into
my hand I send you herin enclosed as far as I now
recollect all the essential papers on the business
accompanied with a copy of Mr. Spanns reply to me in
writing on the subject.
Brother I want to prodeed with precaution so as not be
involved in the business without any profit but rather a
pretty heavey expence I am willing that Mr. Rattiff may
have his papers but before you give them I wish you to
obtain from Mr. Rattif a receipt for them so as to
operate against the receipt that I gave at ??Frankford.
I shall close for the present requesting you to write as
speedily as convenient after the receipt of these lines
and furnish me with all the information the business
herein cited and withal how you and family are doing.
Your affectionate brother
David Barringer |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|

P.S. I omitted to ansur your request to inform you where
brother Mathias is living as far as we know he is living
in the Vilage of Tuscalusia, Village Tuscalusia County,
State of Alabama.
