Dear Elizabeth,

As you are going through that paper, if you happen to notice anything on a Knight
family that had a cargo business that hauled goods from Raliegh, NC to Charleston,
SC and any stops in-between, I would appreciate it.  I've tried without success to
get my hands on copies of newspapers with Knight references and ads in SC.  There
was a place on line and I twice ordered info and never got it.  I was never
charged for it, through, so just stopped trying.  But, if you happen to run across
anything, please let me know.  I am willing to pay for it.  If you could give me a
clue as how to access any material, I would appreciate that also.  God bless and
thanks in advance.

Carolyn,
just an old Texas Gal.
