Materials pertaining to a letter was written by John and Ann McCormick in Larne, County Antrim, to his brother, Maxwell McCormick in South Carolina in 1818. John writes that he is labouring for John Montgomery Casement in Larne, and notes how bad times are in Ireland. He informs his brother that a payment their uncle forwarded their father back in 1801 never reached him and was kept by the agent. John also sends news of the family in Ireland, and notes that he had not heard from his brother since 1801 and realises he had made a mistake in addressing letters to him previously.
The series contains: Kerby A. Miller's typed transcripts of the letter; biographical and census research; photocopies of the original letters; Miller's research notes.
