In this one-page, handwritten letter, Warren Hubert Moise corrects a statement made in a previous letter—that is, that Edwin Warren Moise (b. 1832) of Sumter, South Carolina, had been attorney general of the state. He had heard E. W. Moise referred to as "General Moise," and assumed that, since Moise was a lawyer, he had been attorney general. [Hubert was not far off: E. W. Moise (b. 1832) was elected Adjutant General of South Carolina in 1876 under Wade Hampton, hence the moniker "The General."]
