Letter from G. P. Thurston in Nashville to General George Thomas, 1869 December 25
Thurston encloses an article from a Nashville paper on the proposal to remove Thomas's portrait from the state capitol. He states that there is a general overturning of old landmarks here however & a tendency to extreme & partisan measures & it is possible that in time they do so some mean thing in relation to your picture.
He also notes, however, that these matters would require the prompt intervention of your friends & which I assure you would receive it.
