| Transcript | Augusta Geo [Georgia?] 13 Feby 1866 Wm. [William?] J. C. Allen Esq My Dear Sir Early last month I wrote you of the death of our friend James Brown. after a few days illness by this sad bereavement I lost one of my warmest friends and the community one of the very best citizens. a few days prior to his death we had a conversation regarding the sale of the Geo [Georgia?] Rail Road Stock. he expressed himself very desirous that it should be disposed of. but I saw the prospect was fair that it would advance in value. at that time it was worth about Sixty eight. and a sale made a few days since brought Seventy two. in a few days I shall put it on the market and as soon as sold will remit proceeds to J & [S?] Stewart New York with instructions to place same to the credit of the Ulster Bank on your account. this course I think prudent to peruse. as you will see from the papers I send you that a resolution has been introduced into the Legislature for the relief of the Stockholders and many think its passage doubtful. as the Bills of the Banks are principally held by the planters who will do all they possibly can to defeat it. under these circumstances I think it prudent that your funds should be taken out of this country. be pleased to show this letter to our cousins. [Mrs?] Campbell and Bones are in good health. and all your friends here. Yours Very Truly Harper C. Bryson |
