- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed J.T.K Hayward, Hannibal, Missouri, to His Excellency, H.R. Gamble, Jefferson City. Requesting a change in military heads for upper Missouri, to replace General Hurlburt, now in command, who is much of the time under the influence of liquor. He has had no military education. General Pope is in St. Louis, and though perhaps a good general, is not adapted to our people. May I suggest Judge Hall and Wilson? Judge would be a good man if he will take the place. Individuals mentioned include General Hurlburt [Stephen Augustus?], General John Pope, Judge Hall and Wilson. Places mentioned include Northern Missouri. (3 pages), 1861 Aug 17
