Letter from W. O. N. Perkins, Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives, in Nashville to General George Thomas, 1869 December 8
Perkins talks of a resolution offered in the House to sell the portraits of Thomas and Governor William Brownlow. He notes that the feeling of this Legislature and of a large majority of the people of this State is to let bygones be bygones and to labor in the future for the restoration of Peace, Kind feeling and Confidence and but for a few bad men who are ever ready to pervert and misrepresent, that feeling would soon permeate the whole Country.
