Newnansville Flor. Sep. 9. Bold strike of red circular datestamp with manuscript "25" rate on 1844 folded letter to Philadelphia, fascinating contents incl. "I do most heartily wish the South was rid of slaves., that there was not one in the land & I believe they will have to make their laws more moral or adopt a system of gradual emancipation or the South will see trouble before many years. I think I can see a storm gathering which will burst upon our country unless something interferes to prevent and if there is to be a Northern & Southern Republic I want to be in the Northern quarter.", Very Fine, ex McNeal and Thompson
