About this Item
Folio leaf, folded to [4] pp. Written in elegant ink manuscript on recto of first page and five lines of its verso. Very Good. "I returned to Washington the last of July. I found things about the same as when I left the City. About the same amount of howling continues to be made over Kansas as usual. But they are nearly through. The principles of the Nebrask Bill will become the policy of this nation and then farewell to Abolitionism [underlined]-- not a straw will be left in the ruck of the fanatical scoundrels." A Treasury Department clerk at the time of this letter, Lucius H. Rickard [1828-1898], a Connecticut native, had studied law in New York and returned to Connecticut where he worked as a lawyer in Killingly. A Democrat, he served five terms as warden of the borough of Danielson. Horace A. Briggs [1820-1915], a Connecticut native and Democrat, worked for many of the large well-known gun manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson and Winchester Repeating Arms, before becoming president of Bacon Gun Manufacturing and later a founder of the Hopkins & Allen Firearms Company in 1868.
