Bezaleel Taylor writes to his grandfather James B. Finley. [Taylor is married to Finley\u27s granddaughter Catharine Rebecca Brooke (1824-1917), daughter of Elizabeth Finley and Rev. John Carrington Brooke]. Taylor wants to get into the business of selling books on commission. He seeks Finley\u27s input concerning the possibility of selling books through the Book Concern. Taylor has been elected mayor, but the position does not pay much. He needs more money to support his family. Brother James Taylor buried his little girl last week. Catharine and the children send their love. Abstract Number - 567https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1863/thumbnail.jp
