Davis, Jefferson, 1808-1889,. Correspondence of Philip Fendall and of W.W. Seaton, 1829-1853.

Title: Correspondence of Philip Fendall and of W.W. Seaton, 1829-1853.

In a letter to Martin Van Buren, 1829 April 30, Fendall resigns his position in the State Dept. and inquires why Van Buren described the request for his resignation as an "unpleasant duty" since he has fulfilled his office faithfully. In a letter to Joseph Gales, 1837 June 10, Fendall congratulates him on a public tribute, and comments that Washington is dull except for a "little animation ... it being the return day of the mandamus to the Postmaster General" [Amos Kendall who had refused to take a stand against Southern partisans removing "abolitionist propaganda" from the mail] and speculates on whether Kendall will be sent to jail. He also discusses a financial matter involving W.W. Seaton which concerns drafts at the Bank of the Metropolis, and mentions a legacy to the [American Colonization?] Society. In a letter, 1838 December 20, the law book publishing firm of Nicklin & Johnson sends Fendall a price list of legal titles. In a letter, 1845 July 8, the firm of Wiley & Putnam responds to Fendall's requests for subscription prices to the London Quarterly Review and the Edinburgh Review. In a letter, 1853 March, William W. Seaton, brother-in-law and business partner of Joseph Gales, responds to a request from Jefferson Davis, on rules of precedence for official calls in Washington, D.C.
