Description

European agent, Joshua Robinson, rejoiced upon receiving Finley's letter concerning Thomas Bruton. He is glad that Finley is willing to take an interest in Tom's discharge. Robinson gives a short history of the young man's suffering. Tom's father was a worthless vagabond who emigrated from England to the U.S. His wife and sons followed him to the U.S. after three years. The drunken father was responsible for the death of Tom's mother, then kicked Tom out of the house with just the clothes on his back. Robinson wants Tom to have a Power of Attorney document drawn in his name -- Joshua Robinson, European Agent, Pittsburgh. The document needs to be acknowledged by a notary public and dated at Columbus. Robinson lets Finley know that he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Abstract Number - 1105
