Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents
Is glad he is well; and that he is still defending the South against her Yankee enemies; the work in which he is engaged [the book "Two Civilizations Emanating from Jamestown and Plymouth Rock"] is worthy; Northern publishers will be unwilling to publish a work which will hold their boasted civilzations in contempt; the scheme he proposes might work, but the season is far advanced; maybe Celsus Price could help; is too busy to do it; have heard little of his friend the "viddowt" [sic] except she is building a house on Lucas Place; probably for some lackyman - wish it were him. 3 pp. ALS. Including AN by John Tyler, Jr., endorsing and summarizing letter. 1 p.
