H. G. Charles, Charles L. Pollock, and Slaughter W. Ficklin letters
Scope and Contents
H. G. Charles writes to his brother in Darlington Court House, South Carolina six years after the university began classes, and makes reference to a Peter Bacon, presumably another University of Virginia student.
Charles L. Pollock writes to his sister, Nannie, in Leesburg, Va. about exams and the "final celebration," where "...the statue of Jefferson is going to be inaugurated...." The letter was likely written in 1861, the year that the Alexander Galt statue of Thomas Jefferson was presented to the university. Also included is Slaughter Ficklin's letter about business, politics and praise for H. H. Patterson who is fighting in the war in Mexico.
