Excerpt from Visits to Brunswick, Georgia, and Travels South In November, 1853 when I was twenty-two years of age, I was called to a position that involved responsibility, energy, tact, and no small degree of personal risk. I duly felt the importance of my position, and accepted it with all the enthusiasm of youth, feeling highly complimented by the trust imposed in me, and yet not carelessly considering the cost. The duties of the office I was to fill called me to the South, and, as my mission threatened to be a disturbing one, my movements required the utmost caution. With a full sense, therefore, of what was required of me I rather impatiently awaited my orders, which came in the following "Letter of Instructions:" - "Boston, Nov, 4, 1853. Mr. J.W. Smith: Dear Sir: - You will proceed, this afternoon, to New York, and report yourself at Messrs. Naylor Co.'s, 99 John Street, holding yourself in readiness to leave New York tomorrow, by steamer to Savannah, in case our New York house so direct. On your arrival at Savannah you will call upon the house of which you will receive the address in New York, for later instructions by telegraph than we now give you. Unless these later instructions are to the contrary, you will proceed with the utmost despatch from Savannah to Brunswick.
