Letter written from the Custom House in Bath [Maine]; writer's name hard to read. Letter dated Nov. 6, 1851 responds to letter from Mr. Heath; indicates that a Capt. McMullin cleared [customs] the previous day and had asked the writer to give him the name of a person to whom he should send money. Writer apparently gave the wrong name (A.J. Clark of Southwest Harbor);it should have been Mr. Heath.
