Abstract:
William Bosson (1753-1823 or 1824) expresses joy in hearing that his son [Charles] is establishing himself in the West. Acknowledges the difficulty of beginning a career from scratch and expresses confidence that Charles will be able to build a successful career off of his education, "unblemished character," "an honorable profession with decent Library," "a good constitution," and "a preservering and active mind." Highlights the importance of defeating the British and driving them off of the continent, to ensure peace and secure "our Common Country." If the British are not removed, "Savage Barbarity will always disturb our frontiers." Fourteen persons are at the table for Thanksgiving.
