Letter from Sands Fish, Jr. in Charleston, SC to his parents Sands and Bridget Fish in Mystic Bridge, January 27, 1829.
"Honored Parents,
I have been in hopes of receiving a letter from you before this time but have hoped in vain in fact it appears I have no friends who think enough of me to be to the trouble to write me a line. Asa has formerly been kind enough to write to me but this year he has failed. Uncle John Wood has enjoyed good health since we left but his lameness continues, has been successful in business so far as usual. I have had a turn of being quite under the weather for ten days past so much so that am boarding on shore but am so much recovered I think I should be able to join the schooner on her return from Georgetown which will probably be in a few days. Georgetown coasting has been unusually good this season by reason of the Demand for cotton and rice in Europe, both articles selling much higher and the crops being nearly double of the last season. Please let me hear from you should you be enough at leisure to write. I should think Alden & Bridget were nearly large enough to write a letter by this time.
from Your Son Sands Fish Jr.
Please inform Capt. Rowland's family that he's well."Collection
