Dear Mr. Guerin:
RE: Sea Song Plantation State Historical Marker
We are pleased to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the Department of Archives and History has approved your request for the above referenced privately funded state historical marker. A proposed text will be submitted for your review. The Department of Archives and History, in accordance with the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, reserves the right to approve the final marker text.
The marker will be shipped to the Mississippi Department of Transportation District office nearest you. You will be contacted by the Department of Transportation upon its arrival. The manufacturer, Sewah Studios of Marietta, Ohio, will bill you for the marker. The current cost of a historical marker is $1,470.00, shipping included, for a standard format (1 1/2" lettering) marker.
It is certainly fitting that historic sites in Mississippi can be designated with appropriate markers so that Mississippi's citizens and out-of-state visitors can study and enjoy the interesting heritage of our state. We would solicit your . assistance in inspecting and monitoring this marker, once it is erected, to insure that it is properly maintained.
If the Department of Archives and History can ever be of further service to you, please do not hesitate to call upon us.
Sincerely,
Jim Woodrick Historian
