Title: Letter, March 1, 1870, T.W. Brevard, Tallahassee, to "My Dear Mother," 4 pp., regarding various family matters: "I have never seen Uncle Ephraim's will, and will thank you to send me an exact copy of it, but . . . I entertain no doubt whatever, that it is not only competent, for the guardian, but manifestly his duty, to expend any portion of the principal of a legacy, which is necessary to be spent, for her maintenance, reasonable expenses, and also her education . . . Be certain to preserve all receipts, memoranda and evidences of payment of every sort which you have, showing that the girl received all that she was in good concience entitled to recieve. . . I wish that we were all living together . . . I have an excellent farm of about 300 open acres with quarters . . . I believe if you took it you would live more comfortably . . . Mary and the children are tolerably well, and would send love if they knew I was writing. . ."
