Kerby A. Miller's typed excerpts from letters in the Joshua Giddings and George W. Julian Papers, held in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress [reference number: mm79022756]. Excerpted letters were primarily sent from Joshua Giddings in Washington D.C. between 1854 and 1860.
Per the LOC: 'Giddings's letters, written chiefly to his family, document his service in Congress (1848-1859) and as consul general in Montreal (1861). Julian's correspondence reflects his involvement with the Free Soil Party, the formation of the Republican Party in Indiana, antislavery movements, and Reconstruction.'
