Blind Tom and public figures in 1860s notes
The fragment references Blind Tom, Thomas Greene Bethune, Rosa Bonheur, ex-Gov Letcher, Mrs Stayer, Gov Langley, Colfax, John Hay, and other figures. It covers speeches, lectures, temperance talks, a dialogue about political graft, and scattered notes on US officials, a Duke of Enghien history, Napoleon manuscript, and military actions. It preserves a mix of biographical mentions and political commentary with speculative quotes and sensational asides.
