United States, Georgia, Glynn County, Saint Simons Island, 31.15051, -81.369541818-07-26Letter from Catherine [Barrington King] at St. Simons Island, Hampton Plantation, July 26, 1818, to son Roswell King, Jr., care of "Messrs King and Curtis, merchants, New York." Torn in multiple places. Says her husband has been spending every other week at home since Jr. left and tends to complain when idle. "If he could venture to stay at Darien with his people I don't think he would feel the least indisposed..." Expresses concern because Thomas goes up every Saturday to Butlers [Island plantation] "to give the Negroes tickets and to see how matters are." She worried about Thomas's health, but said if he did not do it, her husband would. Hopes that Roswell will settle down in business in Georgia with a good wife.
