Letter, [1849] Jan. 26, Greenville, S.C., to V[ardry] A[lexander] McBee, Lincolnton, N.C.

Letter, postmarked 26 Jan. [1849?], from W[illia]m P[inckney] McBee, to his brother, V[ardry] A[lexander] McBee, in Lincolnton, N.C., requesting news of the health of his newborn child and wife and reporting a potential law suit associated with a local hotel's application for a liquor license. McBee reports that the Sons of Temperance, which was organizing a Greenville division under W[illia]m B. Leary, "is creating some little excitement" and McBee expresses concerned about a lawsuit filed by the owner of a hotel seeking a liquor license after the town council had voted to grant no more such licenses, William notes that he was "the only one in the council who has any pretension in a legal way & I have very little myself. But the blame in consequence would be thrown on me, for not being acquainted with the construction of the Law."
