Washington Letter Warns on Public Buildings and Debts
The Washington Letter from December 14 1884 discusses how small shopkeepers will be hit by political shifts and new public works. It notes large post office projects in Texas and elsewhere, a social scandal in Washington, and criticizes landscape changes around the Capitol. It ends with Peter Cooper urging local advertising to show prosperity.
