Copy, ScCoAH; LB, DLC:GW. The letter-book copy from GW’s revised letter books varies somewhat in wording. The copy at ScCoAH, enclosed in a letter from Lachlan McIntosh to Governor Lyttelton of South Carolina, was probably taken from the ALS.

Capt. Hugh Waddell, of Belmont, Bladen County, N.C., was originally from county Down, Ireland.
