Description
Bradford writes that he is sorry to hear about Finley's treatment at the penitentiary. He tells Finley "I am not sorry that I left the institution for I have such a contemptable opinion of that man Mc's principels. You do not know 1/2 what I do of him and Dewey seems to think him all perfection." ["Mc" is probably J.V. McElvain, clerk at the penitentiary from 1844-1850.] There appears to be have been a disagreement about payment of Finley's room and board. Abstract Number - 414
