1814 LETTER FROM THOMAS SHERWOOD OF WARREN COUNTY, OHIO TO BROTHER ISAAC SHERWOOD OF NEW YORK CITY

by Richard E, Forrester of Wheaton, Maryland 25 Sep 1987

The enclosed Is a printed copy of one of a collection of letters that was preserved by descendants of Isaac Sherwood who lived in New York City from about 1804 until his death in 1850. The letters cover the time period from 1810 to 1841 and are personal letters written to brothers and cousins. The earliest

letters were written between brothers who were separated by great distances following the departure of some of them from their parental home near Easton, Maryland. The later letters were

written between cousins of the following generation. All letters are now the property of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Moody of Ellicott City, Md. through whose kindness these letters are made ava i l a b l e .

Most of the letters are virtually without punctuation as was common for that period. The spelling is not as standard as we would expect today but is quite readable. The format of the

earlier letters gives the date of writing at the end

instead

of

at the beginning of the letter and the addressee is named only on the outside of the
