Jim Yes, that John Wesley Pitts, he was my grandmothers Zemma Webb Pittts Holcombe father, my great grandfather, to get right to the point, the orginals are in the South Carolina Archives and History Building having been placed there by another great grandson, Mike Smith of South Carolina. I have copies in his hand writing. and typed copies of each that I sent copies to Allan. Of course I have a big file on him. His plantation home is still standing. Have photos of it. The letters were stored in a trunk of his oldest child, Lulu and when she died, Mike found them and since he was living in SC he placed them there. He was married 3 times and I am a result of the third marriage, Mike Smith comes from the first marriage. I would be glad to share any info about him that you would be intrested in.

Yours, Ken
