Throughout the correspondence are references to "the rights of the South," Tucker's love of Virginia, his objections to the Second Bank of the United States, his hatred of Martin Van Buren, construction of railroads, John C. Calhoun's ability, disturbances in Europe, and plans for the Nashville Convention of 1850. There are also brief references to Thomas R. Drew and George Frederick Holmes. Thirteen items are excerpts from letters of Tucker to Hammond; four letters are from Hammond to William Gilmore Simms relating to a new edition of Tucker's The Partisan Leader, the Nashville Convention, Tucker's character, and his death; one letter is from William B. Hodgson to Hammond relative to the Nashville Convention; and one original letter from Tucker to Henry A. Wise recommends an applicant for a position as postmaster.
