Description

Robert Barnwell wrote to an unknown person. He wrote about his inability to make payments on time. He wrote that there had been crop failures that made it impossible for him to submit payments on time. He also referenced a previous payment that was acknowledged in a letter he received from John Kean on June 15, 1794. It is possible the letter is being written to Susan Kean after her husband, John Kean's death, or to John Kean shortly before his death in 1795. This is a partial letter.
