Scope and Contents
Barnwell's letters describe buying a horse, mention Thackeray's lecture in Charleston (1856) and detail events on his trip to Europe, where he is seeking purchasers for sea-island cotton in France. He sees Napoleon III (1857), describes the cuisine, the beauty of the women there, etc. and then goes to Venice. A letter (circa 1861) refers to the military duties of his friends and a letter (1872) notes the loss of his hair and his contemplation on wearing a wig.
