Letter with photocopies of envelope, 1862 June 2
This collection contains a letter signed by Harry, dated June 2, 1862 from Portland, Maine to Sherbrooke, Canada. The letter is addressed to Miss L. A. Hale in care of the Honorable E. Hale. Predominantly a love letter, Harry mentions seeing William G. Parson Brownlow speak, calling him vulgar and profane. He writes, "I went to hear a wretch Parson Brownlow, a Union man and a Methodist from Tennessee lecture, but only stayed a few minutes for anything more vulgar and profane I never listened to. If he is a specimen of the Union men in the South I don't wonder the Southerners send them off." He also talks of two musical composers of the time - Louis Moreau Gottschalk and Bringnoli.
