Wilson letters reproduced in the latter half of this paper were written to Abiel Leonard, a former political and legal companion of Fayette, Missouri, and to his wife. They form part of the Leonard Collection, letters and documents which the present writer discovered in the attic of the old Leonard mansion at Fayette in 1929 and which are now in the archives of the Missouri State Historical Society at Columbia, Mis souri. The letters are copied here in unaltered form, with no editorial rec ognition of error in construction, spelling, or punctuation. An occasional explanation appears in brackets. [From the text]
