James McEvers to Susan Niemcewicz, October 31, 1805

Files

Description

James McEvers wrote from New York, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. McEvers received Susan’s favor of the 17^th. Agreeable to Mr. LeRoy’s promise to Mr. Neimcewicz, he wrote to Mr. Josiah Smith desiring him to pay up Installments due on the Catawba Company Shares that belonged to the late Mr. John Kean’s Estate. McEvers had yet to receive an answer to their letter but had no doubt that Susan’s rights in the Catawba Company would be fully established. On the verso, McEvers noted that he refrained from sending his letter to Susan as he wanted to make an inquiry with an intelligent gentleman from Charleston respecting the Catawba Company. He was of the opinion that proprietors would do better in forfeiting their shares than to pay installments as he did not think it would ever be a productive property.
