Rowan, John, 1773-1843 1828 April 14 Letter.

Rowan writes to his friend James Morrison asking for his support for his son who is a candidate for state legislature from Nelson County, Ky. He hopes that his political enemies will not work to defeat his son. He continues with Washington news: tariff under discussion, fate uncertain and comments on Jackson, "his stock is high". He mentions a pamphlet he sent to Dr. Morrison that purports to disprove a medical theory.
