The letters which are written from Albany, New York, Trenton, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. describe his negotiations with members of the New York and New Jersey legislatures, the Governor of New York, the state land commissioners, members of Congress and of the federal government including President Fillmore. Disosway mentions bitter debate on the floor of the House of Representatives between William Duer of New York and Richard K. Meade of Virginia. The letters date from 1832 and 1849-1851
