Alexander McClure writes fourteen letters to Eli Slifer, the Secretary of the Commonwealth under Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin, in which he discusses various Pennsylvania political issues, the potential Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania, possible military strategies during the Civil War, Curtin's political endeavors, and McClure's own political affairs. "The Gov. thinks that they will extend the war to compass my defeat next fall... We shall see about that," as McClure notes. Transcripts included.
