remain. If no locati<strong>on</strong> is menti<strong>on</strong>ed, then it can be assumed that the letters from Florian<br />
to his family are in the Library of C<strong>on</strong>gress, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Man</str<strong>on</strong>g>uscript Divisi<strong>on</strong>; and the other letters are<br />
in the four volumes at the Genealogy and Local History Divisi<strong>on</strong>, Mobile, Alabama<br />
