LETTER WRITTEN IN YEAR OF IS2S BROUGHT TO LIGHT Written By Mrs. Anna Willis, Aged 95, to Grandson. A letter, written in 1828, address ed to Greenbury Griffin, has been brought to light. Mr. Clarence Grif fin, County Historian and Courier News Editor has this valuable old document in his possession. Mrs. Willis was the great-great-great grandmother of Mr. Griffin. At the time she wrote the letter she was ninety-five years of age. The let ter is written on a heavy fabric pa per, 11x16 inches, and is folded in the middle, and carries two letters, one to her grandson, Greenbury Grif fin and the other to William L. Grif fin, also her grandson, and great grandfather of Clarence Griffin. Writing Clear The writing is clear and legible, though a century old. The letter is yellowed with age but is well pre served. Mrs. Willis used a quill pen and formed her letters with remark able skill, and beauty and they may now be read almost as fast as a typed letter. The entire letter was folded so as to make an envelope of itself. On the front is written "To Mr. Green bury Griffin, North Carolina, Ruth erford county, White Oak Post Of fice." In the upper left hand corner is written "Leaksville, Ga., July 15, 1828," and in the upper right hand corner is marked "25c Paid." The sheet is folded down on the back and sealed. The letter to Greenbury Griffin reads as follows: The Letter "Georgia, Newton County I "Dear Grandson:— !

Mrs. Willis Born 1733 Mrs. Willis was a remarkable wo man in many ways. Born in Han over County, Va., in 1733, a daugh ter of David Lewis, Sr., she married Joel Terrell, Jr., at an early age. After marriage she and her husband keut a hotel in Charlottesville, Va.. and numbered among- their many boarder's young Thomas Jefferson, who had .just hung out his "shingle" as a lawyer. After the death of her husband, Joel Terrell, Jr., she mar ried Stephen Willis. Several of her brothers and sisters, having moved south, it was an inducement for her to move also. She boueht land of her brother, David Lewis, Jr., in Rutherford county and emigrated here in 1780. She used spectacles until she was ninety years of age. At the age of one hundred she could read without the aid of glasses, her eyesight having returned. Also at the age of one hundred she walked as erect as a gill of sixten, using however a walking stick to prevent her from stumbling. Instead of a bonnett she wore a straw hat with a ribbon around it. Goes to Georgia After the death of her second husband she resided with her grand children. She resided with Col. Arthur Erwin, who married her granddaughter, until 1834. Col Erwin was living in Georgia, and it was from there that the above let ter was written. In 1834 she re turned to Rutherford county and resided with her grandson, William L. Griffin, until her death, which occurred July 2, 1835 at the ad vanced age of one hundred and two years and four months. On the morning of her death she arose as usual and dressed, but complained of a slight dizziness. A cup of cof fee was furnished her which she drank, then returned to her bed and expired without a groan or struggle, ending her long and useful career of over five score years. Her re mains were interred in the family cemetery near the homestead on For est City R-2. She had ten children by her first husband, Joel Terrell, Jr., and none by her second husband. i 44 Who is this here Quo Vadis?"
