Abstract

Finding aid and scan (Click on "Additional Files" below) for Manuscripts Small Collection 3434. Letter, 18 March 1869, of James A. Timmons, Bowling Green, Kentucky, to A. T. Stewart. The struggling schoolmaster implores Stewart, a wealthy New York merchant and fellow native of Ireland, to help him save his home from judicial sale and support his vocation “instructing the poor Irish children of this place.” He anticipated repaying Stewart in three years out of the tuition from his American students and what little the Irish students can pay. He enclosed the notice of Commissioner’s sale of his house pursuant to a judgment obtained by creditor Robert W. Ogden.
