Letter, 23 May 1841, written from Newberry, S.C., by Addi Leavell and David Boozer and addressed to Archibald Carmichael or John Blair, Jonesborough, East Tennessee, acknowledges receipt of a letter informing them of the death of William Carmichael.

Leavell, a Newberry merchant, replies to the request “to inform you fully concerning your Fathers Business in the South,” discussing in some detail a claim that the deceased Carmichael had held against Thomas H. Henderson and declining any involvement in settling the affairs of William Carmichael in Augusta, Georgia.
