Parsons, Samuel Holden, 1835-?

Autograph letter signed

Title: to J. Willard

Parsons, perhaps a descendant of General Samuel Holden Parsons (1737-1789), writes to Mr. Willard: "Herewith I send a copy of the correspondence between General Knox and General Parsons which you desired. I have compared the copy carefully with the original. You desire me to inform of the expence of copying- I have made no charges, in as much as the copying was done by my clerk to occupy a leisure moment." See GLC02437.03306 for the copies to which he refers.
