Description

Six-page letter to his son George Carroll Harris of Nashville, Elisha W. Harris writes from his plantation Waco Place in Louisiana of attending a local political meeting. He details the zest the crowd displays for politics and the presidential election of 1860, but he declines to get caught up in the excitement, despite his support of the Breckinridge ("B") and Lane ("L") ticket. He supports the South ending party strife and uniting against the common foe.2061288http://state.tn.us/tsla/history/manuscripts/findingaids/206.pdf
