Charleston memories and family ties in 1860s letters
A long reminiscence from 1860 Charleston visits by Dr St Julien and his daughter Annie, describing Berkeley Hall, family guardianship of Annie, Aunt Ferguson, Jessie, Marion, Arthur Ferguson, and their social circle. The letter details secession events at St Andrew's Hall, daily life, and a vivid portrait of colonial Charleston, its harbor, banners, and the emotional impact of secession on Carolina families. It also notes Oyster vendor cries, local humor, and a young Mary Jessie figure, with affectionate observations of Annie St Julien and her companions.

Spectral tale and political debate blur in crowded harbor
In a chaotic recital a captain and a stranger duel with tall tales in a lakeside crowd while political currents surge in South Carolina. The scene blends a maritime yarn, a taunting boast, and a call for party realignment as Democratic leaders face intra party dissent and a volatile public mood.
