Letter to Charles Fenton Mercer, 1826 December 5.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48823447

Tyler discusses the Virginia literary fund, a constitutional convention, James River improvements and Claudius Crozet. Of Crozet he states " ... I am not deceived whten I pronounce him inferior to no man in Virginia for that quality which old George Mason esteemed so highly, real sagacity--added to which he is a man of the most extensive research, and profound science--But above all I regard him as honest--His candor has caused him to be sometimes unpopular in particular sections."
