This collection consists of eleven letters: ten from Joseph Meek and one from C. Haynes to Samuel Logan of Abingdon, Virginia, 19 March 1835-19 March 1837. Most were sent from Livingston, Alabama, but the three earliest were written in Nashville, Tennessee. Meek was evidently a dealer of enslaved persons who served as Logan's agent in Tennessee and Alabama, and most of the letters address his slave trading activities.
