Tucker, Beverley [Dandridge], in Niagara, Canada West, to his father [Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, 1820-1890]. His brothers Rannie [John Randolph Tucker] and [Charles] Ellis [Tucker] went to Virginia for the summer. May displease his father because the government has done so much to embitter his life. His brothers are doing well in school. Rannie walked out of a lecture with other Southern students because a speech by Webster on slavery was to be read aloud. College supported Rannie's action. Confederate military men and other Southerners live in the area. Fenian Raid fiasco over. Observes tension between Canada and England. Sympathies divided over Prussia and Italy. Mentions "renewed trouble in Mexico, the empire is on the wane."

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
