Autograph Endorsement, twice, by Governor of South Carolina, “M. L. Bonham,” to G.T. Beauregard. August 12, 1863. 2 pp. The document tabulates a list of 15 men headed “Patrol,” men previously tabbed to participate in the “slave patrols” used to round-up runaway slaves. Only four men appear to be qualified and prepared for duty. At bottom McKewn inquires of the Governor if some others can be required to do duty. Bonham forwards the letter to General Beauregard. In Bonham’s hand, “Ex[ecutive]Dept. Aug. 12/63 Resp for[war]d to Genl. Beauregard at request of Senator McKewn. M. L. Bonham.” And another, “Refered to Genl DeSaussure who will present & return this. I sent a copy to Genl Beauregard M.L.B.”
