Scope and Content
The collection consists of one letter dated Schley County, Georgia, Friday, March 4, 1859, "Dear Cousin," and is signed "W.P. Greene esquire."

According to Greene, controversy stemmed from the teacher's comment that [John Charles] Fremont, would have made a better president than Buchanan."
