Summary
A compilation, with commentary, of letters written to members of the Dering family of Shutter Island, New York, between 1773 and 1838. The head of the household, Thomas Dering, was a failed Boston merchant who moved his family to the Sylvester family's manor house on Shelter Island in 1762. The letters are primarily compiled from the Dering Collection of letters at the Shelter Island Historical Society, with a few additions from the Dinkel (Book D) and the University of Michigan (Book M) collections.
