James Faucett Woods papers, 1829-1832.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/663992612

Two letters, 2 Dec. 1829 and 4 Dec. 1832, from James F. Woods to his wife, Margaret, Chesterville (present day Chester, S.C.) were written from Columbia, S.C., during sessions of the legislature. Letter, 2 Dec. 1829, reports that in the S.C. House there was "nothing interesting before us as yet and it is generally thought that this will be quite a dull session"; the second letter, 4 Dec. 1832, conveys Woods' expectation that "there will be some very important matters before us this week in relation to nullification." The letters convey other news of family and friends and echo the couple's frustration over delays in receiving letters sent both by mail and personal delivery; the 1832 letter attributes a colleague's death to excessive use of alcohol, "Daniel Brenan of this place died the other day from hard drinking."
