- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed Edward Bates, Attorney General’s Office, to Governor H.R. Gamble. General Fremont is not to be removed – at least until he has had a full opportunity to retrieve his fortunes, or to ruin our state altogether and endanger our cause. McPherson has no doubt written you as to his partial success in getting arms. The Government is not so much to blame, for Tennessee, and Kentucky as well as Missouri, are placing demands. The subject of our foreign relations is entirely overlooked by the newspapers, absorbed as they are in the Civil War, but we are in imminent peril from that quarter. Discussion of the danger of an open rupture with Spain and Great Britain, and perhaps France also. Julia is slowly recovering from her paralytic stroke. She can walk pretty well. Julian is here, and his presence is a fine moral tonic for his mother. Keep me informed on things in Missouri. Individuals mentioned include General John C. Fremont, William McPherson, [Mrs. Edward] Julia Bates and Julian Bates. Places mentioned include Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Spain, France and Great Britain. (3 pages), 1861 Sept 27
