Taylor, Zachary, 1784-1850. Letter, 1823 October 22, Baton Rouge, Louisiana [to] Genl. Thos. L. [i.e. S] Jesup, Q.M. Genl., U.S. Army, Washington City.

Title: Letter, 1823 October 22, Baton Rouge, Louisiana [to] Genl. Thos. L. [i.e. S] Jesup, Q.M. Genl., U.S. Army, Washington City.

Responds to letter of 17th ult. from Gen. Jesup on the character of Lt. B[arker?] as reported by Kummer, and defends Lt. B as well as other officers under his command: "at the time the occurrence in question, as stated by Kummer, took place I was at the summer cantonment a short distance from this place, & on that day the citizens of B. Rouge & its vicinity, gave the officers of the 1st Regt., most of whom was on the way of leaving here for the Missouri, a public dinner at which it is possible Lt. B as well as some others of the party might have indulged a little too freely, & as Kummer kept a public house some little irregularities might have taken place ... Kummer has left this place & I find on inquiry his character for truth very questionable." Also acknowledges receiving "your communication of the 2nd. Augt. enclosing a letter of Apt. for Capt. Young as Asst. Q Master ... & as he had left this for Cantonment Jesup, it was immediately forwarded to him ..."

Weedon, Frederick, 1784-1857. Family papers, 1818-1951.

Title: Family papers, 1818-1951.

Papers, 1818-1951, consisting chiefly of diary fragments and letters. The collection was acquired through two separate accessions many years a part. The collection remains divided according to accession because each accession was transcribed by different transcribers. The first accession includes diary fragments from 1836 concerning Frederick Weedon's treatment of victims of injuries, sickness, and wounds during the Seminole War of 1836, concentrating especially on his treatment of Chief Osceola. He also notes the cause of death of many soldiers and Native Americans and discusses some of his conversations with and observations of Osceola and other Native Americans. In addition to the diary fragments, there are letters, 1818-1840, which are to, from, or about Weedon family members and subjects discussed include settlement and homelife in the 1820s and 1830s; the Solon Moore case with Ala. governor Gabriel Moore; arms received from free blacks in 1835; the Seminole War of 1836 and the militia raised in Tuscaloosa, Ala.; the need for forgiveness and absence of prejudice; the negotiations in Apr. and May 1837 between Gen. Jesup and the Seminole Indians about their abiding by an agreement reached earlier, and the Seminoles' non-compliance; the death of Osceola in 1838; and the personal attack J. D. Wescott made on Weedon in 1840. The second accession consists of 66 items, 1823-1951, most of which have been transcribed by Patricia R. Wickman, author of Osceola's Legacy. It is divided into two sub-series: the Frederick Weedon papers, 1823-1849; and the Hamilton M. Weedon papers, 1854-1951. The Frederick Weedon papers consist of 16 items, chiefly letters to Weedon. Of particular interest are Weedon's diary fragments describing the death of Osceola and three certifications attesting to Weedon's possession of the head of Osceola. In an 1839 letter, L.N. Fowler inquires whether Weedon would be willing to part with the heads of Osceola and Uchee Billy. Also of interest is a letter, 15 Oct. 1832, from Francis Cash describing a potential duel between James D. Westcott and Thomas Baltzell. Accompanying the letter is a document establishing rules for the duel as well as date and place. Other letters concern military and Indian activity in and around St. Augustine from 1835-1837. A small notebook describes a journey to Memphis in 1823. It also has inventories of personal and household items as well as receipts for slave sales. This series includes two fragments of 1832 letters written in French by Antoinette Martin to James G.L. Martin. Their connection to the Weedons is unknown. The Hamilton M. Weedon papers, 1854-1951, consist chiefly of letters to Hamilton and includes two letters from his father Frederick. An 1854 letter from Frederick refers to money for Hamilton to obtain his M.D. There is a small card indicating that he attended medical lectures at the Albany Medical College in 1855. Also of interest is an 1858 passport issued by the Spanish Consul in Key West, Fla., permitting Dr. H.M. Weedon to travel to Cuba. Several items concern Weedon's service as a Confederate Surgeon. Included among these are measurements for his uniform and a "Certificate of Disability" for Pvt. Warren D. Jackson. Post-Civil War letters chiefly concern family affairs.
