The collection consists of a letter from A. A. Echols, dated November 12, 1860 from Savannah, Georgia, to Emory Washburn,
former governor of Massachusetts. This lengthy letter, prompted by Lincoln's election six days earlier, expresses early Southern
reaction to that election, Civil War causes, and the Southern course of action. Echols, apparently a long-time friend of Washburn,
mildly criticizes him for joining the Republican Party, predicts that the effect of Lincoln's election will be peaceful secession,
and proposes some commercial realignments between the North and South.
