- Summary
- Four letters of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a South Carolina statesman, Revolutionary War veteran, and delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Three of the letters, dating 1815, 1822, and 1824 are addressed to cotton trader Francois-Didier Petit de Villers of Savannah, and concern the latter's claim against Colonel Joseph Habersham, the death of Pinckney's niece, and a request by Pinckney for information on various local matters. Also present are several autographs, a receipt, related ephemera, and a portion of an opinion written by Pinckney in 1783 on the plundering of a house by a party "attached to the British interest."
