Stubborn Mule and Political Mentions in 1874 Letter
A vignette of a mule refusing to move on a steamboat deck contrasts with a long Washington letter from Dec 25 1874. It details political chatter about Grant Butler and Jacksonian figures, the White House visit, and plans for introductions, plus reflections on Lincoln era officials and Civil War era politics.
