Letter, 8 May 1856, Sleepy Creek [now in Saluda County, S.C.], to J[oseph] Slocum, Esq[uire], Cartersville, Ga., from Landrum re his preference to sell rather than to lease the mine, reporting on his visit to McCormick and Lietner Mine in Columbia County, Ga., and enclosing an additional letter of same date to Slocum from Capt. James Dorn, offering to sell their mine, comparing it with various mines in Georgia, and advising, "I cannot but believe that if our Mine were in the hands of a person or company with sufficient capital, and having proper persons to conduct its operations - would yield a hansome return upon the investment." Letter, 17 Apr. 1860, Meeting Steet P.O., Edgefield District, S.C., to J[oseph] Slocum, Syracuse, N.Y., offering to sell his interest in the "Gold Mill, and the Mine ... for Six Thousand Dollars," and reporting that "Mr. [Oscar M.] Lieber, our State Geologist, has visited our mines, and... expressed a very flattering opinion of them... he thought they offered the best prospect... of any thing he had seein the the State, except W.B.
