Transcription Notes:
There's a place named "Buck Stand" about 7 miles from Abbeville, SC. Maybe the name was changed over time? There's also a Bucklick, but it's more than 12 miles away. Here's a link to SC cities: https://southcarolina.hometownlocator.com/cities/listcitiesalpha,alpha,a.cfm ~beth According to the letter on page 9, it looks like "Buck Levee"
