Letter, 1862 Apr. 3, Charleston, S.C., to "Dear Uncle."

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55753177

Letter appeals for assistance in helping a "Mr. Trescott," presumably William Henry Trescot (1822-1898), who wished to remove his labor force of African-American slaves from Beaufort District, S.C., and suggesting that Trescot might be interested in purchasing "Uncle Willies place." Although Clemson reports that he was unable to interest any refugees in purchasing his uncle's property in the mountains as yet, he notes that " ... hundreds may move in the next week or so"; this letter was written on stationery printed with letterheard, "Head Quarters / 2nd Military District South Carolina / Charleston ..."
