- Saint Louis History Collection | Letter signed Anson F. Ashley, St. Louis, to Father. Regarding possibility of purchasing farm land in northern Missouri or southern Iowa. You gave me the credit of being a know nothing but I did not claim that Honor but if you had drove a milk wagon in St. Louis as long as I have you would hate the Irish about as bad as you now do Slavery especially when the City Officers Mayor down were about all of that class. Tomorrow is the day to elect City Officers and the excitement is very strong. It has been the boast of the Catholics that a Papal Flag should float over the Polls, if that is attempted the scenes of last August will be no comparison to those we shall have tomorrow., 1855 Apr 1
