Transcriber's Notes
Inconsistencies in spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and grammar are due to the dialects and preferences of the various letter writers.
The Sea Islands of South Carolina map originally spanned two pages and had some text and lines cut off in the map's center. Therefore, the exact position of No. 17, the shape of the contour lines, and "brick yard" from the partial "bri— yar—" were best-guessed.
Page 61: Charleson changed to Charleston (cents in Charleston).
Page 64: sufficent changed to sufficient (sufficient intelligence).
Page 76: The illustrated symbol was originally on the line of text following the words: rude portal.
Page 79: assisttant changed to assistant (Mr. Soule's assistant).
Page 158: itle changed to title (The title had an immense effect).
Page 237: The illustrated symbol was originally on the line of text following the words: Coffin trademark.
