and Britain. There is also a personal letter dated July 28, 1808 from Gardner's son Henry describing the play, "Andrian from
Glycery."
A second set of letters dated 1849 are to James Rhind (1811-1854), who married James Gardner's daughter Mary (1815-1851).
Also business letters, they were written by Charles Hartridge and William Duncan and deal mainly with the sale and prices
of cotton.
