Abstract: The manuscript is a letter from Jacob Siler to NC Governor Thomas Bragg dated March 16th, 1858. Siler is writing to Governor Bragg to inform him of outstanding debts from a man named Mr. Munday though the amount of the debt is never specified. According to Siler, Governor Bragg was under the impression that Munday was dead, but that was not the case. In this letter, Siler responds to contradict this report and explains that Mr. Munday’s status as a debtor had changed. It is stated that Siler also mentioned the situation to Mr. Erwin, the solicitor for the district, who claimed he was not authorized to act without the consent of Governor Bragg. This transcription and its attendant annotations, explanatory material, and bibliography were prepared by students in ENGL 618: Research Methods in English, the required gateway class for the MA in English at Western Carolina University.
