Plummz - did you read the book? Besides the earlier cites - here are a few more.
On page 51 - Letter to the editor on the subject, starting with “As much has been writtten and said lately regarding the birth-place and parentage of President Arthur, I thought I would write you...”
New York Times - same book - death notice for Arthur’s father. Read that. No confusion on the place of birth now, is there?
Senators letter - page 89 - you see the complete context. Read the entire Herald article, too.
The problem seems to be that you either aren’t really reading - and don’t intend to read - the 90 page book - and already have your mind made up. If that is the case, why even discuss it with me?
Now - where is your evidence that this was hidden at all?
- There is nothing n the letter on page 51 concerning the date of naturalization of Arthur’s father.
- There is nothing in the NYTimes obit concerning the date of naturalization of Arthur’s father.
- Part of the context concerning the Senator’s letter on page 89 is missing because the letter *to* the Senator seems abridged. It may be worth noting, however, that the Senator seems to have an incorrect reading of “natural-born citizen.” Maybe he wasn’t up on his French.
I’m glad to discuss this with you; I’m interested to see if you have cites for any of your claims that would have a bearing on the matter at hand. Let me know if you think you find any more.
