Newton Bateman letters

Manuscripts

Letters to Newton Bateman primarily written by his brother, E.B. Bateman. In addition to news of family and acquaintances, including the death of his son, E.B. writes from St. Louis of the unsanitary conditions of urban life and of prostitution (1848); from Fort Leavenworth of military preparations during the Mexican-American War, of his unofficial service as surgeon to Col. Easton's Missouri Infantry Volunteers, of his travels from Jefferson Barracks to Fort Leavenworth, and of Capt. George de Korponay (1848); from Jacksonville, Illinois, of the "college and academy in St. Louis" (1848); and from Stockton, California, of the cost of goods, difficulty with the mail, and of gold miners leaving for "better diggings" in Australia (1850-1853). Also included are a mathematics textbook circular, a letter from William Peel "P.M." referring to Daniel Anderson's property, and a letter from a friend of Newton's named Peter who writes of St. Charles College, Bateman's options with the school and his potential pay, and of the shooting death of a man named Sterling by Gran or Grun, of which Peter writes "Oh how I would like to make a speech in his defense...Should the Jury pronounce him guilty, it would be an outrage upon humanity were he executed."
