Concerns securing of evidence that someone had been mustered out of a certain Company at the close of the war. He also wrote that he had solicited and secured nearly "1000 letters endorsing Gainesville instead of Lake City for the University of Florida." He stated that he made a trip to Miami for that purpose and gave nearly one month of his time in the cause.



Letters written from St. Augustine (1846) by someone to Thomas Wynn, Jamacia, N. Y. The name of the person who wrote the letters has not been found on any of the ten pages of this finely written manuscript. From content, it would seem to be one or more letters written at different times and possibly mailed at one time, as there is mention of a lack of regularity of mail service. Appears to be personal correspondence with information about family, friends, weather, etc.
