Letter, 5 Mar. 1815 (Washington, D.C.), re closing of U.S. Congress, diplomatic relations with England and Spain, reduction of Army leg by [John Wayles] Eppes and his desire "to be reelected & is afraid of John Randolph [or Roanoke]," and planting of cotton crop; letter, 5 Dec. 1815 (Camden, S.C.), re situation with overseer at Pinetree plantation; letter, 17 Sept. 1819 Philadelphia, to Mrs. Sarah Taylor (Columbia, S.C.) re his plans to leave for home with the girls, kindnesses extended to them by Joseph Reed, expecting Gen. [Wade] Hampton to arrive home before him. Letter, 15 Jan. 1827, written by Gov. Taylor from the Executive Department (Columbia, S.C.), to W[illia]m Smith (1762-1840) and Rob[er]t Y[oung] Hayne (1791-1839), "Senators in Congress from the State of South Carolina," forwards a "Copy of the Act of Assembly enacting certain articles, to be binding on the State of South Carolina when the same should be ratifyed or enacted in like form by the State of Georgia.... It is understood that this has been done by our Sister State," Governor Taylor writes, "but that a Treaty made between two States of our Confederation, to be valid & completely binding must first be sanctioned by the General government. If this consent is to be made & expressed by the Treaty making power of the U.S. Government you gentlemen ex officio become our Diplomatists, & if the Consent is to be made by act of Congress, then It is hoped you will become our advocates in your own Body, & will also give the measure such furtherance in the other Branch of the Legislature as it may require." The "Act of Assembly" to which Governor Taylor refers may have been that enacted in December 1825 "To declare the assent of this State to a Convention between this State and the State of Georgia, for the purpose of improving the navigation of Savannah and Tugaloo Rivers." Letter, 7 Mar 1828 photostatic copy of letter from Nath[aniel] Macon, expressing pleasure over meeting his son William, planning to leave Congress at end of the session, "I have been here... to see the constitution changed by construction and implication, from a limited, to an almost unlimited government."; letter, 15 Jan. 1827 "Exec Dept... Columbia, S.C." "To the Senators of So Ca.. in the Congress of the United States" referring them to the "members of the other House" for documents submitted in an attempt "To obtain as a Gift the Tract of Land called Mr Dearborne near Rocky Mount, from the United States" Clipping of published letter, 11 Sept. 1830 (Rice Creek, S.C.) to "My Dear Judge" [possibly published in a Charleston, S.C., newspaper] re controversy over need for a convention on the nullification issue.
