Files

Description

John Faucheraud Grimke wrote from Charleston to John Kean, addressed to New York. The letter started with Grimke telling Kean that he heard Miss R, who Kean had been talking about, was engaged to Mr. Farmein. He advised Kean to stay away from her and all Northern Women. The rest of the letter he wrote about various topics including the land office bill, East Indies trade, farming, and South Carolina's state debt. He also mentioned that if Mr. Rutledge was to be appointed to the League he would probably name his son, John Rutledge, as his secretary, Grimke named Henry Laurens, William Smith, and James Smith as other good candidates. He told John Major Pickney would be seeking to prosecute Kean's business with J.R.
