Condition: Fine. On offer is a superb ALS by JOHN M. OXTON dated Boston, 1854, 3pp, 4to. Excellent Maine and Vermont political content and much Anti-Catholic content: ".Burlington [Vermont].is the grand centre of Romanism in Vermont. The Jesuits have a great influence there from Montreal." Complains about NY politics & lawyers: "Miserable set of pimps and tombs lawyers. All they care about is to fill their pockets with money enough to well down a tub full of larger beer or a mug of rum. There is no more American feeling in these rightfully named Know Nothings of New York, than there is in the Pope of Rome. There has been a great of excitement east lately in relation to the tarring & feathering of a Catholic Jesuit Priest . at Ellsworth ME . He had interfered with their schools, their churches and their private business and the only way they clean him up was to apply the tar & feathers to the tricky Jesuits. This is the way they do things Down East." Postmarked cover doesn't appear to have ever had a stamp. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Autograph.
