Todd collection, 1835-1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191917566

These are the papers of Harry Innes Todd and his son, George Davidson Todd. The first part of the collection consists of the correspondence of Harry Innes Todd. These letters primarily concern business and politics. There are family letters from the Todd and Crittenden families. Included is a letter from General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden describing his command in the Arizona Territory in 1867. Some early political letters concern the prospects of Todd and the writers gaining influence in the new administration of Zachary Taylor since they had been loyal Whigs and supporters of Taylor. Todd's later participation in republican politics is demonstrated by an 1879 letter from United States Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan discussing Republican presidential possibilities for 1880 (specifically the talk of nominating former President Ulysses S. Grant and Harlan's feeling that Grant could not overcome the tradition against the third term.)
