A letter (1844 Dec. 5) from South Carolina Governor Hammond gives instructions to Attorney General Bailey about handling the crisis over the Negro Seamen Act by carrying out the resolution of the state legislature to expel Samuel Hoar (a Massachusetts agent) from the state. A letter (1837) from Bailey to South Carolina Governor Butler answers Butler's inquiry about Major William Laval's title to Fort Sumter. An order (1839) from the state of South Carolina empowers Solomon Moses to proceed to Virginia to extradite John Diomelot and Esaquel Joaquim, charged with stealing Robert T. Chisolm's slave, Rachel. An indenture (1809) authorizes the public auction of furniture, slaves, and other goods. Additional items include Bailey's will (1849), notes (1846) from a Bible class, a copy of a poem "On conveyances at common law," a printed pamphlet (1836) of Bailey's "An oration delivered at the Medical College of Charleston, So.
