A.G. Henry letter to Medorem Crawford

Image not available

Description
A. G. Henry discusses mutual business colleague Mr. Sparks, whom Crawford has claimed "has rendered himself too obnoxious to retain his position, and any effort to retain him will injure his friends." However, he also writes of a "wicked conspiracy" with the intent "of depreciating my character & influence both in the Territory and here in Washington." He goes on to say that he has found "letters and petitions charging me with dishonesty, incompetency, and Dysloyalty" that he claims are "officially endorsed" by "prominent Citizens."
