Excerpt from Sketch Book of Suffolk, Va: Its People and Its Trade

The compilation of this little volume has afforded me unmixed pleasure inasmuch as it has been the means of laying open before me a new and interesting page of Virginia's glorious history, and of gaining for me the acquaintance of a thriving, happy and virtuous community.

The object of the work is to present to the outside world an accurate sketch of Suffolk as she appears to-day, together with a brief account of such events as, from time to time, have assisted in shaping her destiny, and such information relating to her trade and industries as, in my judgment, will prove of interest to the average reader.

In this I have endeavored throughout to be strictly faithful to facts, many of which have been gleaned from the files of the "Suffolk Herald," to the editor of which excellent newspaper, as to all other coadjutors who have kindly given me their aid - whether in the form of counsel, encouragement or material support - I now tender my sincere thanks.
