Title

Letter from Henry Clay to John B. Morris, n.p. Ashland [Lexington, Ky.], 16 July 1842

Description

Clay notes that Mr. Erwin had been detained in New Orleans longer than expected; supposed he was then in Nashville; left home without hearing of the "protest of bills; " that some of the bills were drawn on Erwin's funds; and informs him that the stoppage of the New Orleans banks made it difficult to sell bills. Clay requested Morris to get bills continued for 15 or 20 days if he didn't receive the amount before they were due.
