Description:
Three volumes comprising outgoing correspondence from Tobias I. Tobias while he was living in London, England. The letters are addressed to family members, friends, and business associates spanning the years from 1815 to 1830. Volume 1 contains correspondence dated from 1815 to 1816. The letters were chiefly to his brother Samuel, who was living in New York and regarded merchandise, invoices, debts, vendors, and family news.

Tobias and Edward Pollack were partners in the company. The letters concerned payments to vendors, types of merchandise sold, and Tobias's consignments to David Judah. Eventually, Judah's failure to pay his portion of the accounts as described in the correspondence led to Tobias's poverty, arrest, and final dissolution of the company in 1828. Correspondence from Tobias with Manuel Judah, Benjamin J. Hooper, and Kennedy & Duchamp of New Orleans are also included. There are also letters concerning Samuel I. Tobias who traveled to Richmond to aide Judah with the account books.
