1831 Ohio Whig leaders in the Age of Jackson.
"…I will hand you the dollars as a compensation for your serving when I need you, which I trust will be at the Federal Court. Our people formed a pretty good ticket last Saturday and success is possible. Levi Whippple for Senator, David Peairs and Appleton Downer for the House." In this, the third year of Andrew Jackson's presidency, newspapers referred to the Whig ticket as "Clay men", as opposed to the "Jackson men" and Anti-Masonic candidates. Whipple lost, while Pearis and Downer were elected.
Goddard, a Zanesville attorney and himself a state senator, was a prominent Ohio Whig, but less notable than his correspondent: John Hough James was a personal friend of Henry Clay and William Henry Harrison, a Whig power-house both in Ohio and Washington, DC, as well as a banker and railroad builder instrumental in the development of "western" finance and… Read More

1846, British Merchant condemns American Anti-Rent Movement
Goodwin could offer no "safe encouragement for a man on your side to ship to this … it hardly ever happens that a profit is made on such business except when the shipper anticipates an increase in our prices. Our Wool Market is dull and buyers complain of your American Wools being imperfectly washed and not regular in quality. Your wool dealers having something to learn in the trade … I thank you for a Newspaper. When you write next pray tell me what you think of the Anti-Rent movement, is it possible for that to succeed? Woe to your boasted liberty and constitution if it does and the tyranny of a King or an Aristocracy is better than that of selfish Mob. Do you in the States read Cooper's Novels?… Read More

Description:
104 letters, 534 manuscript pp., dated 19 December 1869 to 1 March 1875, with the bulk dating from 1870-1874. 7 letters are not dated, but fall within the same general time frame of the rest of the collection.
The bulk of the letters were written to Lettie C. Hayes Grant by her family: parents Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Grant, her brother O.W. Hayes, and sister Belle Hayes. There are two letters written to Lettie's husband, Col. Robert P. Grant and four letters written to Lettie's father, Daniel Hayes, with one letter written to her brother O.W. Hayes. These seven letters, which are not written to Lettie, were also written by the same members of the Hayes family.
Lettie C. Hayes married Col. Grant in 1870, thus the letters mostly deal with the first four years of her marriage when she moved from her family home to live with her husband in Barbours Mills, Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania, and later in Sterling Run, Cameron Co., Pennsylvania, where she begins to set up her own home and family. Her parents and… Read More

Greene writes against the advisability of undertaking missions and missionary labors in Catholic countries:
"My Dear Sir,
I have delayed replying to your favor of the 11th, principally with the hope of being able to bring the general question of the expediency of your attempting missions in papal countries before our Committee, and getting a decision upon it, but in this I have, as yet, been disappointed. Our ordinary business has so occupied the time which they could allot to meetings, that no attention could be devoted to it. We shall have the question discussed as soon as circumstances permit.
Your letter must remain unacknowledged no longer. My present opinion is that it would not be expedient for our board to attempt to establish a Mission in any Catholic country. My reasons are briefly thus, - 1. Heathen countries are more easily acceptable than papal,… Read More

Greenleaf writes:
"Herewith I send you all the remaining copy of the Criminal Law, which completes Part V – The next, viz. Part VI, will consist of Evidence in Equity, which I expect to complete in about two weeks. If you shall have finished Part V before I finish Part VI it will be necessary to wait for it as I do not like to begin to print until I have written the whole of that title. But I trust I shall be ready for you. The books from which extracts are to be made in the copy now sent … I can furnish, if needed."

But if the copy is desired, Mr. H. says that as you are 'known to be a careful man', he is willing that Mr. Longfellow should loan it to you for the ensuing term, taking such Security for it as he may think proper. Though, 'if it was Judge Parker, he would not let him have it'! As to Bro.
