Washington Letter Reflects Weather and Political Tides of 1872
The May 12 1872 Washington La letter discusses unseasonably warm weather, Dolly Varden fashion trends, and social amusements. It moves to national politics noting Senate action on civil rights and amnesty bills, criticizes Edmunds and Colfax, and mentions Horace Greeley and Grant. A report from Washington covers Col Mosby meeting the President with Forney and the Cincinnati convention, plus betting schemes and local rail news on the Western Maryland Railroad and cattle shipments.
