Description
Letter sent by T . H . [Thomas Henderson] Allison to Judge Thomas White from Elderton in June 1862 . [Allison was a prominent physician in Elderton , Pa.] Allison reports on his campaign for Harry White including getting "tickets " printed for distribution to voters in Armstrong County . The subject of the letter is what Allison perceives to be an effort to get Harry's opponent , a man named Meredith , elected through the appointment of conferees who have been selected by return judges . One of these conferees is Meredith's son . If White loses in Indiana County in the upcoming election , the plot may be implemented in Armstrong County , in which case , Allison and others will demand that conferees be elected , not appointed . Allison is confident , however , that Harry will win in Armstrong County in the election occurring on this day .
