Description
Letter from George W. Clarke dated May 12, 1858. Clarke writes to defend himself regarding a raid in Linn County. Clarke insists it was a response to Montgomery's action. There appears to have been a newspaper article detailing negative actions taken by Clarke. He is basically telling Denver his side of the story. Included is the mailing envelope.
