Slater family correspondence, 1847-1882.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/44275234

James Darlinton's 1847 letter to Anthony Slater directs him to "see that Adams County does her duty" at the election polls, stating that "there has not been for many years so favourable a prospect for the triumph of the Democratic Party in Muskingum County" as the "Whig Party ... are doing nothing at this time." William Slater's letter of 1882 from Washington, D.C. to his brother speaks of friends and family, ice harvested from the Potomac River, brick manufacture, and the trial of Charles Guiteau, President Garfield's assassin. A letter of 1882 from [Matt?] E. Slater in New York to John and Mary reports that he returned safely from Zainesville and that the folks in Washington are well.
