Edmund Bacon
BACON, Edmund, lawyer, born in Virginia in January 1776; died in Edgefield, South Carolina, 2 February 1826. While quite young he was chosen by the citizens of Augusta, Georgia, where he was at school, to welcome Washington, then on an official tour through the south as president. "This delicate and honorable task," says a contemporary historian, Judge O'Neall, "he accomplished in an address so fortunate as to have attracted not only the attention of that great man, but to have procured from him, for the orator, a present of several law books." He was graduated at the Litchfield, Connecticut, law school and settled in Savannah, where he acquired a fortune at the bar before attaining the age of thirty-three. He was retained in the settlement of the estate of General Nathaniel Greene, near Savannah, and it is a curious coincidence that a quotation from one of the law books presented to Mr. Bacon by General Washington enabled him to gain a mooted point for the succession to the estate of the second general of the revolution. Owing to ill health, he removed in search of a more healthful location to Edgefield, where lie soon became a leading practitioner. He is the "Ned Brace" of Judge Long-street's "Georgia Scenes," and as a wit and humorist was conspicuous among his contemporaries. He displayed a lavish hospitality, and was the acknowledged autocrat of the table, insomuch that on a certain occasion, when the learned Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, president of South Carolina College, was present as a guest, no sooner had Mr. Bacon left the room than Dr. Maxcy enthusiastically exclaimed, "A perfect Garrick, sir! A living, breathing, acting Garrick !"

The following excerpts come from a letter written from London on 2 February 1875 by a group claiming to be English attorneys and calling themselves Pilham & Phelps. The letter was addressed to J. E. Bacon of Edgefield, South Carolina, a lawyer representing one of the two Virginia-based Jennings organizations. Much of the letter describes one version of the Humphrey Jennings genealogy, including the claim that William Jennings of Amelia County, Virginia, was his great-grandson. Then the writers turn to the subject of money:
As we gave you to understand in our last, it will be useless to attempt the recovery of this large fortune without at least 1000 lbs., about five thousand of American dollars. […] Meanwhile we shall insist upon a fifth of whatever is recovered and we know that enough will be left to make millionaires of your clients in case they succeed.
The 1000 lbs. demanded, we do not regard exactly as a fee, but as a fund for expenses of getting up papers in America, paying your expenses across the ocean and while there and for the necessary and incidental operation of the case here.
You know it is different here from with you, that is, we prepare the case and then we will be forced to retain a barrister, for cash, to conduct the argument.
In fact every step here incurs expense, so you will see that the 1000 lbs will be actually needed. Indeed for so great a claim and the prospect of becoming millionaires your clients should be perfectly willing to incur so moderate a sum of money. […]
It is useless to remind you that delay is dangerous in law and that the longer the claim is deferred the harder the task to substantiate it. […]
It will not be too selfish we trust, to add that we are already buoyant with the hopes of enriching ourselves, your clients, and yourself and are ready and willing to turn our best efforts in a cause so deserving, and which, we must say it frankly, proffers to be a great financial success.
We have the honor to be very respectfully your obedient Servants.
Pilham & Phelps
