Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Index to the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina, Vol. 4: Covering Volumes I-XXV, Published Under the Supervision of the Trustees of the Public Libraries, by Order of the General Assembly
In addition to the names of those persons mentioned in volume 26 as assisting me in the work, my thanks are also due to Misses Sallie, Pattie, and Rosalie Turner, who read proof; to Mr. Julian A. Tur ner, J r., who spent faithful months in repairing the damage done to the manuscript by water after it had left the Compiler's hands; to my wife, Mrs. Sallie Mangum Leach Weeks, and to my son R. Jackson Weeks, Ensign U. S. N., who relieved me of the tedium of indexing long lists of personal names, and to my son W. P. Mangum Weeks, who assisted in proof-reading, my grateful thanks are due. Nor should I fail to mention in this connection Mr. B. W. Nash, who in the early days of the printing was alone found capable of deciphering my handwriting - said to have acquired celebrity among wandering type setters from Washington to Florida; nor Mr. E. M. Uzzell, the printer of the fourth volume, and his capable assistants who by their accu racy and care have saved me from the blush of shame which often comes when volumes two and three are compared with volume four. To these gentlemen who have worked with me for more than seven years over the difficult task of printing, and to Mr. George B. Justice, Assistant Commissioner of Labor and Printing, who, understanding the difiiculties involved, has helped forward the work in every possible way and, appreciating the value of accuracy, has insisted always on correctness in the details of typographical form, my heartfelt thanks are due.
