12 November 1872
Stewart, Isham, (fl. 1872)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Blanche Kelso Bruce
A letter from Stewart asking Senator Bruce to look into a petition put forth to oust his son Robert from his position of Post Master in Macon for a Mrs. Gilmero. He says that one of the only reasons the signers want this is because her husband John was killed in the "Christiana Massacres" [the Christiana Riot of 1851]. The docket is written over the letter text in Red pen.
