“I regret to write that James A. Garfield has been assassinated.  Maybe there is some truth to this twenty-year curse.  Is a nefarious group using this supposed curse to cover their tracks in superstition?  Or is there a mysterious Native American curse plaguing the Presidents.  I cannot see a pattern.  Several American Presidents have gone to war with the natives, but they do not all die mysteriously.  If the treasury is behind it, then why not kill Andrew Jackson or Rutherford B. Hayes who both hampered national banking.  Even if powerful plantation owners were behind it, that would not explain Harrison.  Zachary Tyler does not even fit into the twenty-year window.  Maybe this is all a coincidence.  I guess we will have to wait and see in the year 1900.

-Chester A. Arthur 1881″
