Old Letter Philadelphia To London 1835

With the amount of members on the chat board from the USA we thought this letter would be of interest.
However it is very large for the board so thought it better to give the direct link to the letter on our website.

Letters from the Past
Philadelphia to London, 1835

The letter is addressed to John P. Milner, Warrington, Lancashire, dated 17 June, 1835 and was written by his uncle, 'Othniel' Alsop, in Philadelphia and from the wording of the letter, it relates to the Quakers. This is interesting as Philadelphia was founded as a Quaker settlement by William Penn in 1681, showing that 150 years afterwards the Quakers were still there.

I am quite sure that this letter would be of immense interest to anyone with links to the Quaker form of religious worship, or to early Philadelphia history, as well as family historians linked to the Alsop and Milner families.

Hope it may be of interest to some readers. It can be seen at
