Dear Madam, |
|
Twenty three years ago this day, I landed (an emigrant
from Delaware) in your beautiful city, since which time Georgia has
been my home, and will continue to be whilst life shall last. |
|
Feeling a deep interest in your brave citizen soldiers
now in Virginia, and in other States, many of whom I have known from
childhood, I herewith inclose you a check for $20, to be disposed of
as you think proper in promoting their comfort. |
|
Yours, very respectfully, |
|
Geo. W. Adams |
