Temperance agitator, she was known for smashing saloons with a hatchet. ALS signed “Carrie A. Nation, your loving Home Defender,” one page, 5 x 8, May 23, 1902. Letter, written “in jail,” to Mr. Wanamaker. In full: “In my little meeting with you, you spoke of having me come to speak for you in Phil. I never got to talk about it since. I will be out of this place by the 1st of next month. I would like to come to your city for two days at least. Do you want me.” A light brush to text, a uniform shade of mild toning, and pencil notation to top edge, otherwise fine condition. Nation was jailed several times for disturbing the peace and destroying private property. Her stint in the jail in Topeka, Kansas was her third.
