William Lee Trenholm papers, 1878 Feb. 5 and Sept. 18.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191806015

Two letters, 1878, from W.L. Trenholm in Charleston, S.C., re lost evidence of proposal by the Confederate Cabinet in 1861 by which Trenholm's company would provide shipping services between South Carolina and islands in the Caribbean during the early days of the Civil War. Two letters, 5 Feb. 1878 , written by Trenholm to Dr. J.D. Bruns and Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard in New Orleans, re discussions in May 1861 among Beauregard, Trenholm, and the Confederate Cabinet regarding Trenholm, Fraser, and Company's providing "certain steamers for Naval purposes" and the establishment and maintaining "under a Gov't guaranty, a line of steam communication between Charleston and the West Indies." Trenholm regretfully informs Bruns and Beauregard that he had been unable to find any documentary evidence of the proposal as "the letters and papers I think now among those of Jno. Fraser & Co. which were destroyed when their office on Central Wharf was burnt."
