Copy of letter signed John F. Darby, St. Louis, Missouri, to L.V. Bogy, St. Louis, Mo. States he has no unkind feelings towards Bogy, nor has Bogy given him any offense. At the collector’s office, Darby was in a very bad humor and most outrageously mad at what he considered a great injustice to him in the assessment of his home. He had just denounced the public functionaries when he met Bogy. [filed in 1877 Jan-July], 1877 May 31
