Olden Time Reminiscences Letter From 1877 Demands Justice
In Short Tract New York a reader publishes a scathing 1877 letter about politician Stephen Nuckolls. The writer recalls unpaid telegraph fees in 1869 and vows relentless pursuit of “justice” for alleged mistreatment. He requests a photo and biographical sketch, hints at conflicts in Cheyenne, Evanston, and the Wyoming campaigns, and ends with a vow to continue the cause of Democracy. The tone is partisan and accusatory with personal threats.
