1 Title:   Solon Z. Ruff letter to Joseph H. Ruff  Requires cookie*
  Creator:   Ruff, Solon Z., -1863  
  Dates:   1860 April 7  
  Contents:  
A letter of three full pages, written to Solon Z. Ruff's brother, Joseph H. Ruff. The letter is dated 7 April 1860, and it describes Marietta, its prospects on the eve of war, and the military organization of the town's young men, of which he was named captain. In describing the prospects for the town, he notes, "There are several houses in Atlanta that sell for very small profits for the cash and the consequence is the people from here whenever they had any money, run down there and do their trading. This has carried off the best part of the trade from Marietta and ruined some of our merchants."
