From the Collection:
The 640-page letterbook of Joseph Murrell, a Mobile cotton broker, contains copies of Murrell's correspondence dated from June to October 1861. Some of the letters have faded, making them difficult to read. Much of the correspondence relates to his business transactions, which includes the sale of cotton. Notable letters include Murrell's descriptions of escalating tensions between the North and South to correspondents in London and Liverpool, England.
