1848 letter from Capt John Bright to brother

Last week I bought an old letter on [Ebay](http://www.ebay.com) from Capt John Bright of Cambridge, MA to his brother in 1848.

[Last year other strangers pointed me](http://nozell.com/blog/index.php?s=gideon+taylor&submit=Search) to an Ebay auction for a [Gideon Taylor/Sarah Burr 1857](http://www.nozell.com/genealogy/gideon-taylor-sarah-burr-family-bible/), I was alerted to the auction by some stranger who suggested that it may be related to my wife's BRIGHT line.

Seemed like a good deal at $15.

Here are some smaller versions of the scans I made tonight. Drop me some email if you want a copy of each of the 9M files.

The seller was nice enough to include a photo copy of some background info from "U.S. Naval Institute" by Carl C. Cutter (1961), pg 484 has a line from the "Queens of the Western Ocean", Center line, Ripley Center & Co, 73 South St., Mobile Agents est 1824. (In Boston? NYC?)

The column with the "Bg." is untitled, but the other entries are "Sp.", "Sch.", and "Bk." Some type of ship type? (eg. Schooner)

looking for a WordPress, Markup RSS bug

Here is a link: [link](http://www.somewhere.com/With_Underscore/foo.html)

Which is a link to http://www.somewhere.com/With_Underscore/foo.html

The problem is the resulting RSS contains something like this:

a href="http://www.somewhere.com/With_Underscore/foo.html

Where there is an ampersand pound 95 semicolon in the above line which is not valid in
an href.


This is a by-hand link that uses underscore: with real under

14th anniversary

They went by quickly.
