In the summer of i935ï¼Œ three little girls were playing under their house in Stateburgï¼Œ South Carolinaï¼Œ escaping the hot sun and watch- ing doodlebugs capture and eat ants. In the half-light Geryï¼Œ Maryï¼Œ and Francine Leffelman happened to notice a cardboard box toward the front of the house. When they crawled forward to investigateï¼Œ they found that the box contained some letters underneath what the girls father later identified as a saw from a cotton gin. The twinsï¼Œ Gery and Maryï¼Œ had just learned to read and recognized that the let- ters were old. They took them to their fatherï¼Œ Lewis John Leffelmanï¼Œ a forester educated at the University of Minnesota and Yale who had recently come to Stateburg to manage a large timber plantation. John Leffelman had always been interested in historyï¼Œ and he pre- served the letters his daughters had discovered. More than forty years laterï¼Œ in the spring of 1979ï¼Œ the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina acquired the letters from Mrs. Gery Leffelman Ballou. To bring those letters fully to light and to make them available to any interested readerï¼Œ they are published here for the first time.
