M. Thompson letter to Thomas Rotch, Steubenville Sept 17, 1813

M. Thompson informs Thomas Rotch that he has land available for sale at three and four dollars per acre if Rotch would let him know if he is interested. Rotch chose not to settle in Steubenville where woolen factories were already established and were realizing profits. Instead he visited other sites in Ohio and settled on northeast Ohio, eight miles to the west of Canton, and near the Tuscarawas River. 7.75" x 12.25" (19.6 by 31.5 cm
