- Letter dated in Darien in February 1832 in which McIntosh County Road Commissioner Henry Howard recalled Roswell King Jr saying that he would prefer to pay the fine rather than send "hands" from Pierce Butler's estate to work on the Eagle's Wood road. Included a bill for 51 hands who were to have worked on the road for one week starting on the previous August 22d. The fine was $255: $1 for each day for each hand. Howard directed King to pay the fine to Reuben King, another of the Road Commissioners.
