James Hervey Simpson letter to Josiah Simpson
Manuscripts
An autograph, signed letter from James Hervey Simpson to his brother Dr. Josiah Simpson, with envelope. The letter was written three weeks before the 1864 election and Simpson is responding to his brother's concern that it is "injudicious" for him to become involved in presidential politics. Simpson had contributed a long letter to the anti-McClellan pamphlet "Gen'l McClellan's Record. His Sympathy with the South," (1864) a publication attributed to Edgar Conkling. The letter is accompanied by two items which quote Simpson's views on McClellan: a copy of this 1864 pamphlet, with edits by Simpson, and a newspaper clipping from the "Cincinnati Daily Times" with Simpson's letter to the editor (November 12, 1864).
