Papers, 1817-1828.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41579854

This collection consists of seven letters, one of which is an unsigned item presumably authored by Jarvis. Topics include party schisms in the Democratic Republican Party (later the Democratic Party), anti-Federalist attitudes and strategies, and the progress of the Jackson presidential campaign of 1828 in New England. Correspondents include Ashur Ware, Samuel Dexter, John K. Simpson, David Henshaw, and Salma Hale. Hale wrote of the Commutation Bill for War of 1812 enlistment boundaries, his sympathy with South American patriots, his opposition to an increase in the strength of the Navy, and about the lack of information available to members of Congress. He also wrote of European matters, such as Alexander's treatment of Poland and Bonaparte, Alexander's connection with Ferdinand, and the decline of the power of England. The unsigned letter is addressed to retired diplomat Jonathan Russell, and concerns the publication of Amos Kendall's letter in response to an attack upon him by Henry Clay, as well as Russell's involvement and how he should respond.
