Reynolds, J. L. (James Lawrence), 1814-1877. Letter, 1861 June 24, S[outh] C[arolina] College, [Columbia, S.C.], to Gov. [Francis Wilkinson] Pickens.

Title: Letter, 1861 June 24, S[outh] C[arolina] College, [Columbia, S.C.], to Gov. [Francis Wilkinson] Pickens.

Letter written by J.L. Reynolds in the absence of the secretary of the faculty. Reynolds reports the faculty's desire to clarify a misunderstanding over a previous communication regarding the acceptance of college cadets into military service. The letter sent earlier by Dr. [Maximilian] La Borde "did not intend to 'request' the acceptance of the Cadets" nor had the faculty "expressed any 'desire' in reference to the matter." Since the faculty had "no control over the movements of the students" during vacation, "they deem this whole matter to be one lying entirely with the Executive of the State, and their parents, or guardians." Docketing information on the back of the letter states: "Letter of the Faculty of So. Ca. College, refusing to give consent to Students going to Virginia."

Simms, William Gilmore, 1806-1870. Papers of William Gilmore Simms [manuscript], 1839-1870.

Title: Papers of William Gilmore Simms [manuscript], 1839-1870.

The papers contain manuscripts of three poems by Simms : "The day after," "Dusk," and "Stanzas, written to a friend in despondency." Letters to publishers, authors and friends concern his writings and details of their publication, his home "Woodlands" at Midway, S.C., his life, and the works of others, including John Pendleton Kennedy, Peter Force, Charles Warren Stoddard, Elizabeth Ellet, George Munro, John Russell, and John Esten Cooke, and briefly Cornelius Mathews and Evert A. Duyckinck. Several letters introduce authors to publishers. Others are to autograph collectors. Letters discuss Simms' passion for the South and Southern literature as compared to the North and Northern literature. He offers both encouragement and criticism to writers and editors, and as the editor of several Southern periodicals he writes to obtain reviews and articles. Simms writes of his ill health, yellow fever in Charleston, S.C., his need for writing projects to support his family, and his efforts to publicize his books and the books of others including John Esten Cooke's "Wearing of the Gray." An autograph of Simms and three engravings are included.
