Does anyone know of where a copies of the "Pennsylvania Inquirer" are
archived? Was the Pennsylvania Inquirer the forerunner of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, perhaps?

I am specifically looking for a copy of the Sept. 26, 1849 issue which
reportedly printed a letter, dated July 8th, to Anna M. Pancoast Keyser
from her brother Joseph Edward Pancoast who was in California for the gold
rush. The letter is mentioned in Joseph's autobiographical account
published as "A Quaker Forty-Niner", edited by Anna Paschall Hannum, 1930.
