Purchased 15 May 1917.
Samuel Myers was a merchant of Richmond, Virginia.
Journal records accounts for the sale of cloth, liquor, and tobacco to individuals and firms in Richmond, Baltimore, Boston and England; accounts related to Myer's real estate holdings; expenses and income relating to Myer's stock in numerous companies. Many of these accounts detail repair work performed by area craftsmen. Also recorded are expenses and income of stock held by Myers in such companies as the Bank of the United States, Brook Turnpike Company, Lynchburg and New River Railroad Company, and Rhode Island Coal Mine Company. Myers appears to have engaged also in business ventures with Thoams Massie, Thomas Nelson, and Needler Robinson.
