AI Notes
An otherwise blank lined sheet bearing only two short annotations at the top right: initials ‘W. H. & T. G. B.’ identifying the authors of the surrounding pieces (W. Huger FitzSimons and Theodore Garland Barker), and below them ‘Gen Hampton’ referring to Wade Hampton, whose own contribution appears later in the sequence. A cover or header sheet attached to the multi-page obituary/eulogy of Dr. Christopher FitzSimons that occupies the surrounding pages.
Remainder of the page is blank.
Cover sheet for the multi-page eulogy of Dr. Christopher FitzSimons (3rd) (d. 17 May 1866 in the Moss Grove tornado), composed jointly by his nephew/son-in-law W. Huger FitzSimons and his brother-in-law Theodore Gaillard Barker (“T. G. B.”, Hampton Legion adjutant and Charleston attorney). Gen. Wade Hampton’s separate tribute — referenced on the companion slip mounted on p. 272 — is also part of the bundle, which is bound out of order across pp. 273-278.
