- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed J.B. Henderson, Louisiana, Mo., to H.R. Gamble, St. Louis. I am fully aware of the movement on foot and of its probable effect, not only on me, but on the state. I have mixed with masses in the country during the last 3 weeks, and unless I am mistaken, it requires more prudence and sagacity at present to save the state than it ever did. Before I left Washington I talked very plainly to the President. He gave me his word to act and he said he will do so. I hope. If he listens to interested politicians in preference, he must do so at the peril of the country’s peace. I am certain he will pursue in his course and remove Genl. Curtis. Individuals mentioned include General Curtis, President Lincoln. Places mentioned include Washington. (4 pages), 1863 Mar 30
