Correspondence from SIMM-I and SIMM-II, T-Y, 1817-1890

Some letters obviously being rough drafts discussing business and work related subjects. Among these are requests for payment of services rendered, business proposals, financial transactions and land deals. There are also some of a more personal nature including SIMM-II's ribald message to a friend, a riddle and a very long draft of a letter to a Father Young relating an incident when SIMM-II was Mayor of Frankfort. The incident appears to have occurred at the Frankfort jail and related to a post-war riot, or near riot, over some civil rights issue by a crowd consisting primarily of Catholics. There is also a letter of recommendation from Patrick U. Major to the Postmaster General for Joseph Scott. (29 documents)
