Title: Jacob J. Brown letter to Micah Sterling [manuscript], 1820 January 28.

In a lengthy letter marked "Confidential" Brown discusses the continuing Presidency of James Monroe and the anticipated outcome of the election of 1824. He mentions Smith Thompson and John Quincy Adams whom he predicts will never become president. The election will fall to Calhoun or Crawford. Clinton will be elected governor of New York and will continue with a canal from the Hudson to the Great Lakes. The Missouri question will "agitate the states" but "not sever the union" as providence has willed the people together and the "national establishment will be preserved." He refers to a "base and infamous" article reporting a conversation between New York Chief Justice Ambrose Spencer and himself and discusses the nomination of [John?] Canfield [Spencer?] to the Senate which despite controversy will be confirmed and gives advice on the political situation in Jefferson County, New York. He wishes to see Sterling.

Hull, Isaac, 1773-1843. Papers, 1810-1842.

Title: Papers, 1810-1842.

This is the most extensive collection of documents relative to the career of Isaac Hull and his many years service in the U.S. Navy. The papers span the years 1810 to 1842 and include letters and letter-books, ledgers and account books, log books and ships papers, legal records and official reports, meteorological observations and sundry printed matter. Some of the more interesting documents were published in Commodore Hull: Papers of Isaac Hull (Boston, 1929). The bulk of the collection falls around 1840, during his period of service in the Mediterranean, when he had command of "Ohio," "Cyane," "Brandywine" and "Preble." Of great importance are the many letters from officials in Washington and U.S. consuls overseas, including William Tudor, Obadiah Rich and Hosea Sprague, which give a good account of political and military conditions at home and abroad. The papers, in sum, present a vivid picture of the development of the U.S. Navy during a critical period, beset by frequently hostile European forces and by suspicious bureaucrats in Washington, yet strengthened by the character, resolve and the organizational abilities of clear-minded sailors such as Commodore Hull. Also included in the collection are William Miller's account of the battle of Ayacucho (1825) and Bernardo O'Higgins' "To the virtuous inhabitants of the Archipelago of Chiloe" (1826).
