This distinguished South Carolinian – the great Southern
author, poet and novelist – is among the most unfortunate men of the day. He lost all his property and sources of
income by the disruption of the country – to the publishers and the holders of
his copyrights residing in the North. He
had fourteen children. Lately he buried
nine of them’ and a few days ago his house and all his effects were consumed by
fire. Nothing was saved from the general
ruin but his library. – Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy.

Davenport, Iowa, Monday Morning, May 19, 1862, p. 2
