John Hale letter acknowledging a request to speak at the Mercantile Library Association, September 14, 1845

Abstract

Hale writes that he has been so "harrassed with business" that he has "had but little time to attend to any thing else, or even to think of aught beside." "I have had to continue almost alone against the whole pack of profligate & venal newspaper Editors set upon me." ; https://digitalcommons.wofford.edu/littlejohnmss/1283/thumbnail.jpg
