Description
In a letter to his sister, George Young discussed their brother, Robert moving to Texas and how much he will miss him. He talked about receiving his orders and how much he will miss the rest of the family. He agreed with her opinion of the Yankees and abolitionists, that they were trying to steal their negroes or get them to murder their owners. He then gave a graphic account of the murder of a couple in Sugar Valley. He was called on to perform the post mortem. He discussed the search for the murderers and that they will hang any abolitionists who cannot account for themselves. He said that anyone heading South should make their wills. Four handwritten pages.
