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).
