My Dear Brother
How I wish that it was in my power to fill up this sheet with something satisfactory to myself as well as to you, but I cannot it is still the same old story, of struggling and hoping, of that hope defered [deferred], which maketh the heart sick. I had hoped to have had a good summer trade (and may yet, late in the season) but the price of labour [labor] has taken such a rise that all building is stoped [stopped] for the present. Masons, Bricklayers, Carpenters, and all other …

Dear Brother
According to your request, I will write all business matters upon a separate sheet hereafter. I have not much to write at the present, and the little that I have to write I fear you will find very unsatisfactory, for it most assuredly is so to me. I have so woefully slipped up in all my calculations and come so far short of realizing what I expected, that I fear that you will have lost all confidence in my ability and judgment, and have come to the, perhaps, very reasonable conclusion, that I …

Dear Brother
This is Christmas day and as I take my pen to write you a few lines. Wishing you a merrie time and a happy New Year, my mind travels back to years, and I am again taking my Christmas dinner at St. Andrews surrounded by the loved ones at home, it is a pleasing illusion, and I suffer myself to enjoy it for awhile, but as I dismiss it, God knows, how much I wish that it was a reality.

Dear Brothers,
It is now more than two years since I have received a letter from you, or have written to you. This is not right, we should correspond once a year at the least, but I suppose that you like myself, have been your whole time, so occupied with business, that although you have often thought of me, and, determined to write to me when you would have leisure, yet the time has insensibly passed away, and the letters are still unwritten. I do not seek to excuse myself but …

Your very welcome letter of Aug 18th reached me yesterday, and my heart was once more gladdened by knowing that at that date you were all well at home. I am, thank God, in good health and my prospects, in a worldly point of view are very fair. I have pretty severe work, as I am travelling the most of the time, and the facilities are small. My business is buying oil and cranberries, and, selling goods on [commission], for three houses in San Francisco.

According to my promise in my letter to William by the last mail, I now proceed to answer yours of July 8th. If you could actually realize my dear brother the pleasure that your letters give me and how anxiously I look for letters from home every mail, you would I think, often devote a few leisure moments in writing to me. I know that I am sadly remiss of my duty, in writing home so seldom, but the privations, hardships, and, disapointments [disappointments] I have experienced during the …

It is now nearly nine months since I have written to you, or any of the family. Doubtless you think this strange and unjustifiable, and I will not attempt to say that it is not. But this much I must say, that my long silence has not proceeded from any want of brotherly love, or, affection on my past, (for God knows how dear you all are to me, and how earnestly I have desired, and still desire to …

I received your letter of Aug [August] 17th in Sept. [September] but not in time to answer it by last mail
You can readily conceive that it was with much anxiety that I opened it, for the black seal told me, too well, that some-one who was near and dear to me had been taken by the hand of Death, to that bourne from whence no traveller [traveler] returns.

Yours of Jany [January] 12th came duly to hand but I have been so busy getting in my [craps] fencing [al], that I have allowed a longer time than I should to pass without answering it. I trust that you found your trip to Europe to be one of both pleasure and profit. There is something peculiarly interesting in visiting countries, and viewing objects that have by their associations with past ages and occurrences become subjects of Historical interest, and had I a fortune I should certainly spend a few years in so doing. …

Slave Trade Ledger Of William James Smith, 1844-1854, William James Smith
Local History
This ledger meticulously details the prices paid and received for scores of human beings (as slaves; only first names are recorded), as well as the expenses incurred by Smith in undertaking this business venture, such as feeding, clothing, sheltering, and nursing the people he purchased and sold. The details of the book illustrate that Smith took several "trips" between 1844 and 1854 to buy and sell slaves: detailed records of purchases and sales of "Negroes" exist for all of the years between 1844 and 1854. The listing of expenses for the year of 1844 (the most complete account) indicate that …
