This collection contains a letter from T. K. Catlett, a preacher from Abingdon, Virginia, to a merchant named James O. Lewis in Pemberton, South Carolina. The letter dated December 15, 1831, addresses books that T. K. Catlett purchased but did not receive. Catlett informs Lewis that the book merchants may contact him, and Catlett explains what to do if they do. Catlett also asks Lewis to dispose of the books should he receive them. Notation from Catlett says, "Should they not write to you on the subject, and the books come to hand, I would thank you to dispose of them in the best way you can for the concern." Later in the letter, Catlett discusses the weather and the South Carolina Annual Conference, likely a Methodist Conference.

Please note, the item is very fragile and should be handled with care.
