Thomas S. Grimke correspondence, undated

Rough notes (circa 1834) for a reply by Thomas S. Grimke to an article in the May/June 1834 issue of the Calumet about the merits (or not) of defensive war, the fair copy of which was lost and never published. The notes are on the reverse of a letter (1796) in French to Grimke's father, John F. Grimke, from his daughter's tutor. With a note from B. D. Heriot passing on an extract from a letter re the Sumter, South Carolina (?) Temperance Society, with a mention of Rev. Samuel Gilman. With a copy of Grimke's petition to the South Carolina Senate asking to be excused from the responsibility of bearing arms due to his religious beliefs, and a letter from the subscribers of the Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina setting out their plan for members periodically furnishing essays on various topics, listing members, and with a newspaper clipping re its annual meeting. With a typed list, with some bibliographic information, on publications of Thomas S. Grimke in the library of Theodore Drayton Grimke-Drayton, with a list of the latter's desiderata.
