(1792 - 1868) Leader of the Radical Republicans who demanded harsh treatment for the South during and after the War, led the impeachment proceedings against Andrew Johnson. A.L.S. "Stevens" in the text, 1p. 8vo., [n.p.]. Aug. 22, 1867, in part: "...I have sent you what will I suppose do for a note. The copy was to be much contested, but a loss of members by the late flood has greatly distressed him. I had to caution Ed McPherson. I wish Mr. Schumacher would call on Mr. Dadgress...& thank in behalf of Stevens..." Typical frantic handwriting and inkblots, else very good.
