Description
In this handwritten letter, Warren R. Webb writes from Charleston, North Carolina to his nephew, Robert Webb in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Warren speaks of his health and his travels and confesses that he has little interest in politics. He goes on to say that he believes that things are cooling down and is certain the threat of secession will be dead by Christmas. He continues by speaking of friends and family news and offering his thoughts on the state of crops and trade.
