Papers, 1812-1852.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/298515028

This small collection of papers, for the period 1812 to 1852, includes fragments of correspondence bearing his signature, notes concerning requests for him to speak at public gatherings, a brief letter containing his assessment of electoral college candidates, and a letter written to Massachusetts Governor Levi Lincoln (1782-1868) in 1830 concerning Sen. Webster's efforts to secure an overseer for the farm of his brother-in-law, Edward Augustus LeRoy (1804-1865), in Avon, N.Y. This includes a detailed description of the farm. Two items of special interest are: a newspaper printing of a political speech delivered by Webster in Andover, Mass. (at a gathering of the Whig Party of Essex County), containing detailed marginal corrections made by Webster; and a letter written Gov. Lincoln in 1830 relative to Webster's private assessment of the dispute which arose in the administration of President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), viz. the conflict between John Caldwell Calhoun (1782-1850) and Martin Van Buren (1782-1862) and the efforts by Van Buren to discredit Calhoun. The letter also refers to the results of national elections in 1830 as well as to the sluggishness of Congress in performing its business.
