Letter : Richmond, to General James Breckenridge, Fincastle Botetourt County, Virginia, 1829 February 24.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122624288

Cabell sends a copy of a pamphlet [not included here] by himself, of two letters by James Madison with a compiled index. He describes the press run, distribution, and costs. It has had a good effect but the opposition stopped action in the Senate [on protection and encouragement of domestic manufactures]. Cabell comments on Andrew Jackson's actions and cabinet; John Randolph's non-support of Jackson; and University of Virginia's problems. He notes that Cocke is still in Norfolk. Cabell plans to retire.
