White, Edward Douglass, 1795-1847. Edward Douglass White letter, 1832 June 2.

Title: Edward Douglass White letter, 1832 June 2.

Letter from Edward Douglass White to George William Boyd, who had urged White to run for governor of Louisiana. Writing from Washington, D.C., where Congress was still in session, White describes his lack of interest in the governorship, citing his doubts about his fitness to lead during a time of national strife, but expresses his readiness to run if the nomination is offered to him. He laments his party's failure to organize effectively in Louisiana and suggests that committees of "gentlemen in New Orleans" begin meeting to lay the groundwork for a political machine in that state.
