Addressed to "Dear Cousin George" Hargraves writes, "My sister received the following Telegram from Mobile: Have you any information of Martina Lucketts father. If not take her home immediately from the Sisters of Visitation in Mobile." George continues, "I suppose from above that Martina is at school and the Superior not hearing from Mr. Luckett wants to get rid of her. What shall be done?" Hargraves mentions that he could contact Mr. Jno Forsyth to help Martina and that Aunt Sophia probably would take her in. Written below the Hargraves signature - "I have not been able to hear from any Mississipian about Mr. Luckett. - G H" At the bottom of the letter (possibly written in a different hand) is a note - "Miss Singleton from Canton, saw the Luckett six weeks in two months ago - his children were all with him Miss Martina also. He was not then in the Army." The writer of this letter, George Hargraves, was married to Virginia Forsyth, daughter of famous Georgian, John Forsyth. "Mr. Jno Forsyth" mentioned in this letter could quite possibly be the son of John Forsyth. John Forsyth, Jr. who resided in Columbus before moving to Mobile. Very good.
