L. L. Packard papers, 1860-1891.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/722305342

The earliest dated document is a license (1860) issued to L. L. Packard to sell clocks as an itnerant salesman in South Carolina. Correspondence consists of five wartime letters (1862-1864), mostly letters from L. L. Packard to his family, from Columbia (S.C.), Charleston (S.C.), and Summerville (S.C.), concerning his efforts to get a furlough and a discharge, attempts to get hired help on the family farm, prices of cloth, cotton, and foodstuffs, shoes for his daughter, and other matters. One letter to L. L. Packard is from a friend, R. C. Stephenson of Jenkins Brigade (Hood's Division) at Bulls Gap (Tenn.), and concerns the strength and numbers of the army, speculations about going into Kentucky, and other military matters. Additional wartime documents include a parole issued at Greensboro (N.C.) to Private William M. McCarter of Kanapaux's Battery in May 1865. Other items include an invoice (1873) for goods sold to L. L. Packard at Rock Hill (S.C.) by J. M. Ivy & Company; and a (possibly unrelated) item, a complaint for foreclosure (1891) on 181 acres against J. C. Jackson of York County.
