Title: Correspondence of John Tyler, 1838-1856.

In his letter of Apr. 3, 1843, Sandy Harris of Philadelphia forwarded Tyler a "petrified eye of a buffalo," having in mind that "the Democrats have been frequently characterized as a 'herd of buffalo.' In his letter of July 22, 1843, Charles Yancey (1770-1857), rebuked Tyler for having abandoned "republicanism" to join "the ranks of the Federal Whigs". The letter by Alexander Lithgow Botts of June 25, 1843, discusses the resignation of Daniel Webster the death of Legaré and a new candidate for the position of the Secretary of State (he supported Abel P. Upshur's candidacy). Calvin Blythe's letter of July 27, 1844, gives a detailed account of a "meeting of your friends last night at the Chinese Museum called on the occasion of your declining to be a candidate for the Presidency." Also included is an 1838 school copybook belonging to Benjamin Harker of East Liverpool, Ohio, the son of Benjamin Harker, the founder of the Harker pottery.
