Letter to B. Johnson Barbour, [manuscript] 1872 July 6.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647958859

Thompson writes concerning the selection [of R.G.H. Kean] as Rector of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia. Thompson believes Kean's selection is due to John B. Minor's influence. Thompson also thanks Barbour for his "friendly indignation" at the attacks on him in "The Enquirer" which he attributes to E. A. Pollard. He describes Pollard as a "degraded" man who sought an abortion for his wife and who attacks those above him. Thompson conveys news of New York, including 50 deaths a day from sun stroke, a concert by the Band of the Grenadier Guards and concludes with a description of the contents of a box of presents he is sending Barbour for his family including a picture of Samuel F. B. Morse, a "Yankee benefactor of the race."
