George Gibbs, in Washington, writes frequently about the conduct of the war, the defense of Washington, the army and many other matters before and after the war. In 1861 the correspondence of the younger John Austin Stevens becomes more prominent, with many letters written by him to his father discussing politics in Washington, particularly the friction between Salmon Portland Chase and William Henry Seward over appointments. There are many letters to him from William Alexander, who writes on military and political events in Texas, Mexico, and New Orleans in 1863-1864. Other important subjects in his correspondence include the Treasury Note Committee; support of the Union; General Boulanger; patriotic organizations, such as the Loyal National League; historical organizations, such as the Loyal Publication Society, and patriotic celebrations, such as the centennial of Evacuation Day. There are also several volumes of correspondence related to the Magazine of American History, which he edited. A number of notebooks relate to his researches on New York City taverns, coffee-houses, horse racing, etc. There are also manuscripts of the following addresses read by Stevens before the New-York Historical Society: The Physical development of New York in the 19th century; The Merchants of New York in 1789; The Physical development of New York on the plan of the Commisioners, a centennial contrast, 1807-1907; The Merchants of New York, 1765-1775; George Gibbs; The Progress of New York in a century, 1776-1876; and The New York delegation to the Continental Congress, 1774-1776.
