Taylor, John, 1753-1824. John Taylor of Caroline letters to James Garnett [manuscript], 1809.

Title: John Taylor of Caroline letters to James Garnett [manuscript], 1809.

In a letter, 1809 January 23, Taylor asks Garnett to pay Duane and Binns for paper subscriptions; notes that no one can predict what will happen next politically so are all "either singing or croaking...like frogs in muddy water"; hopes that Garnett will soon announce that he is seeking re-election to Congress; and asks if Key will argue his suit. In a letter, 1809 February 6, Taylor discusses the publishing of one of his letters by Ritchie, his refusal to have Stanard publish one, and two subsequent letters answering charges he had changed his politcs; his fears that the U.S. will be goaded into war with Great Britain and the form of government be subverted as people now think wise a war they earlier thought a folly; and a request to forward some money to Dr. Mease.
