Washington Correspondence on Treasury removals in 1840s
A Muscatine Washington letter reports sudden Treasury changes under President Taylor, including removal of R. H. Gillett and Penrose resigning as Assistant Secretary. John S. Gallaher named Third Auditor and Walter Forward praised as Youko. Virginia politics, Minnesota notes, and party strife color the dispatch as debates on Taylorism and Whig influence unfold.
