The papers contain four letters, 1810-1824, from Tyler regarding various legal matters: the divorce case of Rebecah Perry vs. Daniel Perry, particularly the proposed decree of alimony; the potential miscarriage of justice when parties fail to transact business at the proper time; and the economic advantage of transporting more than one prisoner at a time; some public matters: the New Hampshire elections, particularly the gain in votes for [Jeremiah?] Smith; the re-election of James Madison; and Tyler's request that Van Ness meet with Colonel Harrington to consider the qualifications of John Johnson, Clerk of County Court, for appointment as Master of Chancery for the County of Burlington, Vermont, recommended by Judge [Heman] Allen; and several personal matters: a request that Merrill have Captain [Moses] Robinson return the first volume of Tyler's reports, published as "Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Judicature of Vermont 1800 to 1803"; and instructions, on behalf of Mrs. Tyler for Griffith to fill out forms for a bond and mortgage. They also contain a letter, 1787 March 6, to Tyler from James Bowdoin instructing Tyler to go to New York City to seek help from Gov. George Clinton and the State of New York in apprehending members of Shays' Rebellion. The correspondents include James Bowdoin, William Griffith, Jonathan Jones, Orsamus Cook Merrill, and Cornelius Peter Van Ness. There is also a document, 1808 February 22, concerning a writ of error for a debt of Samuel Purdy of Manchester.
