- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed Thomas Allen, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to Honorable H.R. Gamble, Governor of Missouri. Truly rejoicing in your being made Governor of Missouri. My heart will be with you in your patriotic efforts. The doings of the convention are precisely in accordance with my own views, promptly expressed in an article signed “Pettacus” published in the Missouri Republican, immediately after Jackson’s proclamation calling for 50,000 men. I trust that, with the help of Federal forces, you will soon be able to suppress domestic violence, and that will returning confidence in our government, we shall have a return of our usual prosperity. I am ready to return at any moment, if I can render any essential service in the support of your government, and expect to do so, at all events, very soon. (2 pages), 1861 Aug 1
