In part, "I shall be a peaceable citizen under Harrisons administration, if he fulfils half the promises that Southern wiggs make for him….Our negroes are more licentious than I ever knew them to be….there is among them an expectation that they will be freed if Harrison is elected…we get little or no work from them, and if we even speak correcting them they run off…." More interesting content. Very good; fold tear and toning. With the August 12, 1864 issue of the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator.
