5 March 1861
Kell, John McIntosh (1823-1900)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Julia Blanche Kell
Writes that "I hope to refer the Savannah ready for service day after tomorrow." Makes reference to Yankee slang on third page. In closing, Kell mentions that he had meant to send a copy of Lincoln's inaugural address and adds that "I do not think it is calculated much to intimidate the President of our Southern Confederacy, nor will it carry much weight in the North."
