| Transcript | To: Davison McDowell Esqu[ire?] George Town [Georgetown?] SoCa [South Carolina?] From: Charleston [South Carolina?], 14th Sept[ember?] 1837 My dear Sir I received this day your kind fav[our?] 11 Inst[ant?] which has relieved my mind from great anx- iety [anxiety?] respecting the crop as I had apprehended from the great devastations of the second gale in this quarter the very worst results at Pee Dee & we have indeed cause to be grateful that we have so fortunately escaped & I hope that a favourable harvest season will enable you to reap to advantage. I thank you my dear sir for the kind sympathy which you expressed for me in your fav[our?] 2 Aug[us?]t & if there is anything to reconcile me to the misfortune which I have encountered it is that sympathy which I have experienced from so many valued friends & the unshaken confidence which they still repose in me - my conscience does not reprove me with anything wrong nor have I been subjected to the censure of the community - but otherwise have experienced their warm sym- pathies [sympathies?] - under these circumstances I shall recommence business under favourable auspices & indulge the hope that the chastening hand which has been upon me will work ultimately for my good - I cannot say at present what disposition will be made of the negros as Miss Perry is absent at present & I shall have to consult with her - I should be glad to get rid of the business & to release you from further trouble The [?] had left the [?] to my receipt of your letter - I will look out for an oppor- tunity [opportunity?] to forward the corn - Pray tender my warm ac- knowledgements [acknowledgements?] & kind regards to Mrs McDowell in which Mrs D[avies?] & Louisa unite with me to all your family Yours truly H [?] Davies |
