Abstract | English merchant and exporter in Charleston, S.C., and other American cities. Contemporary handwritten copies of letters, 1784-1798, written by Nelson, with a few letters received and other commercial records. The letters were written to Nelson's associates in London, W.C. and Francis Lambert; to his partner, Samuel Bellamy, who was at various times in Philadelphia, New York, and other cities; to South Carolinians to whom he sold goods and whose rice and other products he exported; to relatives in England; and to commercial connections in many eastern seaboard cities. From 1784 to 1796 the letters were written chiefly from Charleston (although occasionally from other places), and in 1796-1798, chiefly from Philadelphia. |
