Letter
Jno. H. Winder to Brigadier- General, January 21, 1865
Columbia, S. C., January 21, 1865.
Mrs. ©. M. JONES:
MADAM: The occupation of Savannah by the enemy renders it inexpedient for the Confederate States to continue to occupy the stockade at Camp Lawton. Itis therefore given up to you, and J will take the earliest opportunity to send an agent to arrange and settle the account between yourself and the Confederate States.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Brigadier- General.
