Scope and Contents From the Collection: This collection consists of one letter, written by John A. Cuthbert from San Souci, Mobile Bay, Alabama, on 29 June 1848 to Governor Reuben Chapman of Alabama, urging the appointment of William R. King to fill a vacant seat in the United States Senate. In the letter he states that “there are great numbers of us, who long for an opportunity of repairing the seeming unkindness which Mr. King suffered from the legislature, at its late session.”
