Jessup, Thomas S. General Thomas S. Jessup papers, 1840-1860.

Title: General Thomas S. Jessup papers, 1840-1860.

This group centers around a letter by General Thomas S. Jessup to his brother, Colonel Samuel B. Jessup, dated August 19, 1840. The letter in question concerns a speech by Joseph Rogers Underwood on a Florida appropriation bill. Thomas Jessup, in Washington, D.C., was forwarding a copy of the speech to Samuel in Frankfort for publication in Frankfort and Lexington newspapers. A copy of the speech is no longer with this letter. The collection also has a 1913 letter written to Elizabeth Tandy of Paducah, from an aunt (identified only as "Annie") in Fort Smith, Arkansas. This letter forwarded the 1840 letter to Tandy, who was a descendant of Samuel Jessup. Tandy's aunt provided some identifying family information in relation to the old letter and discussed social news. Some notes about the provenance of these items are also present.
