I go tomorrow to Cherryville (probably from where he mailed this letter) that I may prepare for the reception of your people….You were right my friend to keep your people in a land of plenty, much wiser than those who ??? them off - and I believe very few would have left had every ??? remained on his place as you do.

4179 cover 2e image1861, 10¢ light milky blue, Stone Y, vertical plate scratch (Scott 2e), ample margins to slightly in, tied by blue "Columbia S.C. Mar. 22" (1863) circular datestamp on cover to Maj. Gen. M. (Mansfield) Lovell at "Confederate House" in Jackson Miss., "E.M. Lovell Columbia 28 March /63" docketing on back, Very Fine cover, Jack E.

Lovell was blamed for the fall of Confederate New Orleans in 1862 and he was later relieved of command. He demanded a court of inquiry, which met in April 1863 and declared him to be innocent of the charges of incompetence. But, he was not given any assignments for the rest of the war. "Confederate House" was built in 1861 by "Major" R.O. Edwards, but was destroyed during the Civil War in 1863. Major Edwards built a new hotel on the site, the Edwards House, which opened in 1867. This structure was replaced in 1923 by the present building, which after many renovations, etc. is now the Hilton Garden Inn-Jackson Downtown.
