James H. Taylor correspondence, 1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37522767

Letter (1861 May 2) from James H. [K.?] Taylor in Charleston (S.C.) to South Carolina governor F.W. Pickens alerts him to the hostility of Northern states toward South Carolina and other Southern states. He includes as an example a letter (1861 April 23) from New York (N.Y.) by John F.H., a wealthy person in "intimate situation to Gov. Morgan," to a woman named Harriette in Charleston (S.C.). John F.H. writes of Northern preparations for war and advises Harriette to leave Charleston. Also included is an acknowledgement of Taylor's letter by D.R. Jones [David R. Jones?] with the following comment: "He [the governor?] says if they come 'We will welcome them with bloody hands and hospitable graves.'"
