Politician (1812–1883) who served as the 5th and 13th governor of Texas. Immense archive of approximately 87 items relating to Texas governor Elisha Pease. Archive consists of letters, mostly to Pease, receipts, military rosters, checks issued to Pease, and other documents. Archive dates from 1838–1870. Archive includes: an ALS, signed “E. M. Pease,” one page, both sides, 7.75 x 12.5, dated in pencil in another hand May 7, 1855. Pease writes to W. B. Reuwenly. In part: “Your letter of the 27th of April asking me ‘to give publicity to my views in relation to the property & c passage of a…prohibitory liquor law by the next Legislative’ was received a few days, and I cheerfully comply with your request. Personally I have no objection to the passage of such law neither have I any doubt in regard to the constitutional power of the legislature to regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors as to prohibit their sale altogether in this State…The prosperity of the passage of such law must depend upon the state of public fueling on the subject.” Also included are letters to Pease from Thomas F. McKinney regarding a note against A. Luck, his mother and sister, his brother-in-law John C. Robinson, Katharine Burke, his sisters Maria and Carrie, M. T. Johnson, Thomas Sikers, James Burke, and J. A. Sprague. Letters include raising of cavalry militia units, request for help in the extradition of a murderer, supplicants for office, and congratulations on his impending marriage. Many family letters (letter from brother en route to Mexican War regiment at Mexico City: "You must not think…the army ought to be withdrawn…we should hold on to all that we have & also get what there is left"); detailed ledgers of accounts, especially during his time as governor; bill of sale for slave Mary and her daughter Emily. In overall very good condition, with expected age wear and toning, some repairs to several of the documents, as well as a few of the pieces being rather fragile. The Robert Davis Collection.
