 Item — Box: 4

Scope and Contents

Letter: Crawfordsville, Ind., to Samuel Judah, 1798-1869, Vincennes, Ind.

ALS. To Judah, a lawyer, and past and future member of the Indiana House of Representatives, Canby writes of travel plans and current business. Of special note is his discussion of Indiana politics: "All things are amicably adjusted and the paper will be entitled the Indiana Democrat & State Gazette by Morrison & Kinnard. The fears . . . of the influence of Gov. Ray are altogether groundless . . . but it is important to have him with us. The nomination of the supreme Judges and the disposition of ten or twelve votes in the legislature are in his hands and we had much better have them with us than against us."
