Letter from [illegible] shipping agent in Havana, Cuba, to J. Marion Sims, October 28, 1864. Granville had stopped in Havana, began to get ill, sailed for Galveston anyway, and died shortly after he arrived. News traveled back to the shipping agent in Cuba, and was then passed along to Sims. The letter is held in the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill libraries.
