Burnsville—1S.I2 Among a collection of old let ters, one beautifully penned which stirs the imagination was ad dressed to Rev. Jacob Weaver and Lady, Reems Creek, and written by a son, J. T. Weaver, while be ginning school at Burnsville. Anvone who might be able to obtain information on the history of Burnsville, might be able to add more interesting information about that area. For instance, some interesting stories which have been passed from generation to generation concerning the old whipping post, or the jail, or per haps the old school, would be most welcome. Written on November 13, 1S52. the letter following was delivered by post. "I now seat myself in our room, situated about 100 yds. distant from the jail and whipping post, and 20 yds. south of M. E. Penland's hotel, being a small house on the premises ,.f and be longing to said Penland, with two beds in it. the house weather boarded and sealed, with 2 doors and two glass winnows, a good fire place, and a book case, 2 tables, a wash pan, pitcher of water, tow els and etc., and thus situated 1 hasten to write to you a note. We expect to board at' Penlands. We can get board as cheap here as anywhere; and we have the prom ise of milk all the time; and fur tner we are nearer the college here than we would be at Woodfins; and we have to walk to and from college every lesson we recite and of course we would like to be as near as possible. Another con cideration is, we have a recom mendation here by Mr. McElroy: i and still another i-\ that Mrs’. Woodfin is looking for an increase in her family shortly, therefore we had rather be here. Mrs. Penland and all the r» st of the folks seen very kind and glad to see us tslick good 1 oking fel lows you know) 1 am fin.siting this letter Sun day morning, for after 1 com menced last night one of the brethern t tat is masons found out and nothing \vould do but that 1 musi go to his room with him and >.a\ a.l night; and there we Talk ed until near twelve o’clock. Tin morning is cloudy and cold. I sup pose a specimen of weather in Burnsville. I received an invitation last night to be present at the mar riage of Dr. Madley; but I reckon I can’t be there. I must quit. I'll jrjve you the news in my next which will perhaps not be until the second post—by that time I can tell you everything almost. You will perceive this is written in great haste. Farewell. Your Affectionate son, J. T. Weaver. Teacher's Letter From Turkey's Creek. 1835 In I8.'55 North Carolina had not established a state-wide educa tional system. From the letter below we get a vague description of the school, as well as the boys “who seek enjoyments by riding on bushes and limbs,” for pass time at this early date. The let ter begins: Turkey Creek, Monday. October 20, 1835 Dear Elizabeth: 1 was this morning apprised of an opportunity of writing you. My health at this time is not veri good and my nerves are so af fected that 1 cannot write veri much. Though with a few excep tions my health has been better this fall than it has for several years. I am teaching school in a chestnut pole school house with a great train of almost disinterest ing scholars for they just leave me as soon as dismissed and seek the injoyments by riding on bush es swinging on limbs and etc. Thoug I console myself by think ing that three more weeks will close the scene with them. I have today 23 boys and only 8 girls. By this you may guess their com pany is not very interesting. Dear Elizabeth 1 want you to write me soon. I want to hear from you very much. I think when 1 come down to that settlement I will visit you. I must quit writing for the noisy crowd has returned and they confuse my mind that I can not write. Please excuse this un methodical letter and give my love to all your friends and particular ly your Aunt Margaret, your Un cle * Chrisley and family.
