Letter signed Lindsey Carson, Lakeport, Cal., to Col. N.G. Elliott. Your last letter is at hand and also the paper giving the history of the Baptist Church in Howard and adjoining counties. Also came the paper giving the history of our old native County. Almost as soon as done the telegraph flashed across the glorious result of your State Election. I was expecting something good from old Mo. but was not prepared for so much at one time. Long and dark has been the night of our defeat, our old Banner has been trampled in the dust for the last fourteen years. The next fight will now come up between the Rads and the (said to be) dead Democratic Party. Lengthy political opinions. News of friends in California. Individuals mentioned: Father Ebenezer Rodgers, Pioneers of the Baptist Church, Butler, Uncle Sash Bynum, Ben, John D. Thompson, Davidson, Charley and William Smith, John G. McManus, Ransom Powell, Moses Briggs, George Wear, Uncle Elias and his boys, Uncle Leas, Samuel Swope, Jesse W. Whitton, and Friend Morrison. Places mentioned: Sonoma County, Heraldsburg, Ukiah City, Mendocino County; Hollister, Monterey County; and San Francisco. , 1874 Nov 15
