These are letters of Joseph G. Klock's that were written between 1817 and 1845. These letters were in the possession of a descendant, Earl Herbert Klock. The letters were published in a newspaper called Saint Johnsville Enterprise and News in 1936. I was unable to combine all the letters into one document so they were split into two different parts.
