Letters to Major Willard Warner, 1863-1888.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54801942

Letter to his friend Warner. One, 1863, discusses his report re: Colonel Woods. The remainder of the letters are written after the war and discuss his dislike of politics and refusal to be involved, the prospects for the south and of living in the south, Warner's election to the Senate and his need to travel the state and know its needs so as not to be perceived as a carpetbagger, organization of the militia, his preference for "noncommingling" of the races, and some business activities. He makes references to the Civil War and the Meridian Campaign, Columbia and the Congaree River and his actions at Atlanta and in Georgia. In respect to the "nonsense" of the "bloody shirt", he says there was "equal carnage" and "to fix the facts permanently in history is the duty of the hour."
