History of the Morey Letter Forgery At Garfield Campaign
John F E Davenport reveals in a 146 page pamphlet the authorship of the Morey letter. He argues Henry H Hadley acted as the instrument of Barnum and the Democratic National Committee in a broad forgery scheme to influence the 1880 election. The tale traces Hadley’s confession, penmanship ties across thousands of letters, and the attempted manipulation through a circulated dodger and forged affidavits.
