Description
A letter written by Walter T. Taylor, teacher in the Pioneer School, to the editor of De Hollander, in which he defends a Samuel Clark, a Democratic candidate for Congress. Taylor knew Clark since both came from Western New York. Clark's younger brother was a student in Taylor's Latin School in Geneva, New York. An "evil report" has been circulating about Clark in the Colony and Taylor wants to set the record straight. It may be assumed possibly that Clark is running for Congress from Michigan.

About the collection:
Elton J. Bruins, long-time professor in the Department of Religion at Hope College, spent years collecting documents by and about Albertus C. Van Raalte, founder of Holland, Michigan and early patron of Hope College. Documents were gathered from dozens of public and private collections, making a nearly exhaustive collection of Van Raalte's writings and reflections. It is these documents that make up the "Van Raalte Papers."
Digitizing the Van Raalte papers was supported by the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York. The project was done in partnership with Heritage Hall at Calvin University, which also digitized its Van Raalte collections.
