Letter from Charles Leonor LePallieur to James Morrison ("Mon chere Frere"), with good news about his trading and optimism that he will be able to make good money that year thanks to his excellent clerk and good relationship with the Indigenous nations he trades with. He requests that Morrison send goods that he requested in a previous letter, possibly in partnership. Letter also contains political news of continued conflict between Americans and Indigenous nations. The letter closes with good wishes for LePallieur and Morrison's family, and a request to send a young man to assist LePallieur's clerk with reading and writing. Letter sent from LePallieur's wintering place at the fork of the Great River.
