18 June 1861

Alston, Charles Jr., fl. 1861

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Governor Francis W. Pickens

Informs Governor Pickens that his constituents believe too many troops have been sent to Virginia, leaving the seacoast vulnerable. Senator Alston says "something ought to be done for our own Sea Board for they do not think that the troubles of South Carolina have ended with Fort Sumter."
