Letter re antebellum gold mining industry in northern Georgia and in vicinity of Edgefield and McCormick Counties in S.C. Letter to unidentified recipient addressed as "Capt." [James Dorn?] in which Quattlebum discusses the stagnant market in Edgefield for "the gold business," reports his visit to the financially successful mining operation at Columbia Gold Mines (Columbus, Ga.) [now McDuffie County, Ga.], lamenting that he rushed into the business with insufficient planning, offering a ten percent commission if he made a cash sale, and specifying terms for leasing thirty-six acres to [Joseph] Slocum.
