The Carnesville Advance April 14, 1910
We have not received an order from you for life of William H. Crawford. The author 
was eight years in writing this popular book and you can get more of the early 
history of Georgia from it than any other book. There is a reference to a public 
dinner given at Carnesville, Ga. in 1825 to Crawford at which James Ward responded 
to the toast, Crawford's name will go down to remotest posterity, (pg. 200). Did 
Mr. Ward leave any children, and are they now in Carnesville? Is there any old 
newspaper file that gives an account of Crawford's attendance at this dinner?

The above is taken from a letter recently received by Geo. L. Goode from the 
American Book company, publishers of a life of William H. Crawford, a 
distinguished statesman of the early part of the last century and a native 
Georgian. It will be remembered that William H. Crawford was the American 
Ambassador to France in the time of Napoleon, and is said to be the only man to 
whom Napoleon every bowed a second time. Mr. Goode will appreciate any information 
from any source that will throw any additional light upon this event in the early 
history of Franklin County
