Although written by an anonymous correspondent, this letter notes the crisis that erupted in the domestic life of John Rutledge (1766-1819) when he seperated from his wife in Jan. 1804. His 1791 marriage to Sarah Motte Smith (daughter or Robert Smith, first Episcopal bishop of S.C.) was a union that produced six children. On 19 Jan. 1804, near Savannah, Ga., Rutledge killed Dr. Horace Gates Senter [sometimes identified as "F. Strace Senter"] of Rhode Island, in a duel directly related to the breakup of Rutledge's marriage.
