1841 Major John H. Bills
Letter dated Feb. 4th 1841. This Letter is addressed to Major John H. Bills Postmaster, from Elijah M. Ringo. In short, it addresses the inheritance of land, 2 children(William & Elizabeth) and the "Negros" belonging to William & Elizabeth(obviously inherited as they are children). The author asks of John H Bills, advice concerning the certification of land papers and the best time for moving the Negros, so as they do not "suffer" due to the harsh winter travel.
