Scope and content

Kerby A. Miller's transcripts of three letters written to Alex Taylor in Belfast in 1898 and 1905. The two 1898 letters are written by his brother Hugh in New York, who had been travelling about working or looking for work. He had lived in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and had briefly worked for a small linen manufacturing company in Albany, Wisconsin. Taylor was either engaged in white-collar/office or managerial/foreman-type work. Through relatives and friends from Ulster, he has just secured a job job with Taylor & Taube, a Brooklyn cooperage firm, working in its New York City office. A third letter is written by one of Alex Taylor's former employees who is now working as a law clerk in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
