Series-level Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

Please note that correspondents often mention acquaintances or other individuals but will not provide their complete names. When known, the full name is given in parentheses. Also, in the case of the Clarke family, one A.K. Clark signs her name without the 'e' although it is likely that she is a member of the Clarke family. She also cites (her husband?) inconsistently as 'Mr. Clark' or 'Mr. Clarke.' Descriptions for each letter will use the spelling that the correspondent has used.

Additional Description

Container Summary

ALS (dated 11/2/1856 from St. Louis) to Franklin B. Sanborn from Frank Harding. References include: description of his work as flagman and suffering from sore feet as a consequence; election campaigns involving James Buchanan and John D. Freeman (?): "Everybody here is for Buchanan, and if there is as much enthusiasm shown everywhere for him as here, there is not in my opinion the slightest chance for Freeman. I feel as if his chance were lost for this election."
