A letter dated Nov. 24, 1836, written from Boston by Rev. John Pierpont to his brother, James Morris Pierpont (1800-1839) of South Farms, Litchfield, Conn., later Morris, Conn. John reports on the arrival of the Lydia and its cargo; that he has taken up and paid the note signed by Sherman, Tolles, John and James for $1,000; and asks for advice on other business matters, including what to do with the stereotype plates used to print labels for the Farmington Company's Patent Wood Screws.
