The letter was written by George Samuel Briley Huggins to his wife Elizabeth Timmons. In the letter he says "and tell the Negros I have not forgotten them..." ----------------------------- Please allow me to clarify a possible misunderstanding and present a correction. (1) Richard Parsons was mentioned in the letter of 20 July 1862 (in what we would understand today as a postscript) as follows: "our mess is as follows cousin Frank Brown Washington Venters cousin Chris Lawrence Richard Parsons Len Baxley two of the Mr. Douglasses one or both of them married old Mr. Stephen Carters daughter" (2) In another letter from Richmond Va. Camp of Instructions Aug. 5th 1862 there is this language: "My love to you my Dear & the children & mama. tell the negros I have not forgotten them & especially old Tom & Harry. I must close your dear Husband Geo. S.B. Huggins"
