- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed Willard P. Hall, St. Joseph, Missouri, to His Excellency, Hamilton R. Gamble, St. Louis. I notice by yesterday’s Republican that you are in St. Louis, so I will address your letter there. Regarding inquiries I have made, I find the Union men are satisfied at the action of the convention. The Secessionists are dissatisfied, but there is no danger of any outbreak here, nor of any disturbance of any kind. From the Chariton River west, everything is quiet and I believe will remain so. East of the Chariton River affairs seem to be disturbed. There is no question that Missouri will sustain the question of the convention by a large majority. Your proclamation is well received and is doing good. If we can only restrain the soldiers and make them behave themselves, our fight will be an easy one all over the state. Individuals mentioned include Republican, Union men and Secessionists. Places mentioned include St. Louis, Chariton River and Missouri. (2 pages), 1861 July 11
