Transcribed by Jo Church Dickerson from a Xeroxed copy
of a document found in SC Dept of Archives & History. 1994.
Transcriber has made all efforts to maintain original spelling,
capitalization, etc. Many names were almost illegible, and
there was no standard hand with which to compare the letters,
as all signatures are in a different hand. Some were just too
faint to make out. Transcribers notes are in [brackets].
