TO
GEN. D. F. JAMISON,
OF ORANGEBURG, S. C.

My Dear Jamison —

You will find, in the tale which follows, that I have borrowed
freely from your notes. It is but proper that I should
make this acknowledgment, while paying my tribute to your
worth, your friendship, and the grateful intimacy which has so
long existed between us.

Ever faithfully yours, &c.

W. Gilmore Simms.
Woodlands, S. C.
June 10, 1855.
