Wyndham Malet was Vicar of Ardeley, near Buntingford, Hertfordshire, England. He came to America to visit his sister at Conway, SC. He traveled by steamer from Baltimore to Fortress Monroe, on a British warship to Charleston, by train to Fairbluff, just across the North Carolina line, and finished the journey to Conway in a buggy carrying Confederate mail. Most of his time was spent on his brother-in- law's plantation, but he visited Pawleys Island on the coast, another plantation near Winnsboro, and made trips to Columbia, to Flat Rock, NC, and to Richmond and back by way of Wilmington. He left South Carolina by railway, going through Columbia, Charlotte, Salisbury, Raleigh, Weldon, and Petersburg to Richmond, on a flag-of-truce boat to Fortress Monroe, by boat to Baltimore and by rail to New York, whence he sailed for England. Malet was much interested in the social customs of the Confederacy, and especially in the institution of slavery. He found slavery a benevolent institution and the slaves wholly contented with their lot. During his six months in the South, he saw no beggars and found the people, high and low, unanimously for the war and independence.” Zotero Title An errand to the South in the summer of 1862 Item Type Book Author William Wyndham Malet URL <a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/011530711">https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/011530711</a> Place London Publisher R.
