The collection consists of one letter dated Schley County, Georgia, Friday, March 4, 1859, "Dear Cousin," and is signed "W.P. Greene esquire." Greene complains to his cousin that one of his favorite teachers at Chapel Academy is being libeled as an abolitionist by a former teacher who was fired for incompetence. According to Greene, controversy stemmed from the teacher's comment that [John Charles] Fremont, would have made a better president than Buchanan."
