Anderson, William Marshall, Circleville, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1864 May 23
Scope and Contents
Anderson does not know to whom he is indebted for a couple of very interesting pamphlets entitled "What we are coming to" or "The veil removed." He thanks McMaster for reading his letter. Anderson admits that there were innumerable mistakes in grammar and sentence structure. He attributed this carelessness to his excitement over McClellan and War democracy. Judge Van Tramp and Anderson never talked about their troubles. He inquires if Charlie _____ is still in the city. Anderson never thought when he met Charlie _____ at the thoroughbred races in Lexington, Kuntucky some years ago that such a bond of friendship would spring up between them. He wishes McMaster to give his love to Jones. He urges that they should pray for each other for he sees no hope but in prayer. ` P.S. In his mail Anderson received four or five essays by Judge S.S. Nicholas, an old friend. Anderson considers him the ablest constitutional lawyer now alive. Anderson knew him forty years ago when he sifted his principles out of Latin, French, and Spanish sources while other lawyers were content to stick to English. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
