Robert F. W. Allston Letter, . 1843 September 5

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/a/Allston,Robert_F.W.html

Robert F. W. Allston was a rice planter and civil engineer; surveyor general of South Carolina, 1823; member of the General Assembly, 1828-1832; state senator, 1832-1856; and governor, 1856-1858. The collection is a letter, 5 September 1843, apparently written by the Rev. Alexander Glennis of Waccamaw, S.C., to Robert Francis Withers Allston of Society Hill (Darlington District), S.C. In the letter Glennis discusses an epidemic of croup among children in his neighborhood and other sickness in the area; church business (presumably Episcopal), including an inquiry from the Rev. Edward J. Stearns of Richmond, Va.; and offers Allston spritual counsel.
