Abstract:
Appointment of William Bosson (1806-1887) to represent the "Fourth Congressional District of this State in the Memphis Commercial Convention" on May 18, 1869, in Memphis. A manuscript note by William Bosson states that the "Commercial Convention of the Valley of the Mississippi revived the 'Southern Commercial Con.'" Several years after it was established, it became the "Nursery of the Rebellion." "In the true sense it became a political Congress congregating delegates from all the Southern States-political malcontents, fire eaters-under The Semblance of a 'Commercial Convention'. I look with suspicion on the Southern convocations." On "Executive Office" illustrated stationery.
