    DescriptionA letter addressed to the public by C.H. McCullough, the father of the woman allegedly raped by Pomp Brown. In the letter, he states that he will not support Davis for another term because of his excessive pardons. The letter is dated September 19, 1903, Herald Print, Plumerville.

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
