- Description:
- Letter from John Couper to Roswell King at Farmington, Connecticut, dated at St. Simons Island on September 8, 1836. Wet weather continuing and Cudjo and Morris "are in despair." Very poor cotton crops to come in Glynn County; however, old Jacob is favorable about rice and cane. Reviews births and deaths on the property over the past 9 months: 12 births, 3 deaths. Refers to "Indians" seen at the headwaters of the Buffalo [presumably river]. Discusses the Brunswick canal and railroads projects. As a footnote, reported hearing that "the Indians have possession of part of Ware County."
