Caning of Senator Sumner Part Two - Furman University

Old Capt. Robert when told I had a letter from you, begged me to read it for him in the presence of Col. Lawton Senator from this county. I read most of it & when I concluded, I said -- "he is a Trump." He then proposed to the Capt. to have a public meeting for the purpose of adopting complimentary resolutions & sending them to you. ................
