Description

Letter from John Muir, Baltimore, Maryland, to his brother-in-law Samuel Hepburn, Upper Marlboro, Prince George's County, Maryland, dated January 6, 1787. Muir notes he had planned to spend the Fall with the Hepburns but an “obstinet” fever during August, September and October had prevented his visit. Cousin Elizey had died, and his parents are still recovering.

John Muir's (1754-1810) sister Jean Muir (1759-circa 1810) married Samuel Chew Hepburn (circa 1742-circa 1806).
