A letter from Elias Ball III at Kensington Plantation to his brother John Ball in Charleston, South Carolina discussing a shipment of grapes delivered by the enslaved man Ben and a request for papers.
This is a photo album documenting a trip taken by a few members of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina on September 13-14, 1950 to North Carolina to consider whether coastal South Carolina could capitalize on the grape and wine industry as NC had so successfully done. The group visits an experiment station, inspects different vineyards, observes a harvest, and learns about varieties of muscadine grapes.
