Wythe Courthouse 13th Feby 1838

Dear Sir

I write to let you know that no remonstrance will be sent from here against the formation of the new County out of parts of Wythe & Montgomery.  There appeared to be so much indifference manifested upon the subject here that I did not circulate a petition among the people on yesterday. For I supposed a few signatures only would do no good.  Mr. Oglesby of this place is not expected to live many days.  No other news of importance

In haste
Your obt st  (obedient servant)
And S. Fulton

Transcriber Notes

Fulton intended to send a petition against the formation of Pulaski County from parts of Wythe & Montgomery Counties (see letter 877) but local apathy changed his mind.

Pulaski County was formed the following year – 1839.

See letter 877 for more information on Andrew S. Fulton
