Political letters reflect 1840 campaign and party loyalties

A letter from Levi Walstead of Ann Arbor dated Oct 10, 1840, blasts Kemp as a Whig ally and urges Democratic voters to expose his supposed anti democratic aims and vote for Harrison. A second note from Jarvis B. addresses Kemp’s residency, voter vigilance, and opposition to admin policy, while recounting election rhetoric, party loyalties, and national political snapshots including foreign events and electoral shifts across states.
