James Barbour letters to Daniel Bryan [manuscript], 1821-1832.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/433579725

In letters to brother-in-law and one to his sister, Barbour discusses family matters. There are references to a brutal summer in Richmond, crops destroyed by rain, a forthcoming ocean voyage and the end of his political career as "violence of purpose seems now the only road to popularity and a servile idolatry its guarantee." He also thanks Bryan for aid in publishing a speech.
