Virginia as Home for Settlers Seen By Secretary of War
Secretary Morrow voices Virginia as a favorable home for settlers citing climate and prices from 35 to 215 per acre, arguing migration to the state could rival the West with proper advertising. The Kosnoke Times notes the South may benefit from promoting Virginia to attract immigrants. The letter from Atwood Violet & Co. discusses cotton supply and market outlook through September, predicting rising demand and prices.
