Letter from Thaddeus Stevens to Col. S. Stevens
Description
Photostatic copy of letter from Thaddeus Stevens to Col. S. Stevens regarding [Caledonia]. Thaddeus received the first communication from his manager that [the Confederates] were led on Tuesday to where the teams were and took all of the horses and mules and even crippled some horses. They took 4,000 pounds of bacon, molasses, contents of the store, $1,000 worth of corn from the mills and other grain, and $4,000 worth of bar iron. On Friday, they burned the furnace, sawmill, two forges and another mill. They kept the office and store room that night and burned them on Saturday. Damage was worse than Thaddeus expected and he doesn't know what the poor families will do; he must provide for their relief. Lancaster.

Letter from Monsieur Ludovic LeChaut to Thaddeus Stevens
Description
Letter from Monsieur Ludovic LeChaut to Thaddeus Stevens stating that he had devised plans and inventions to aid the Union Navy during the Civil War and that he read in the newspaper that an admiral used one of his ideas to break through a rebel stronghold. He wrote to President Lincoln, but does not know if the letter was received by him. He did not like President Johnson, a Southern Democrat, and chose to write to Stevens due to his Republican ways and his loyalty to democracy. Le Havre, France. With envelope.
