http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647824458

Correspondence of the Masons includes a letter from John Taylor of Caroline re a Virginia-Maryland boundary dispute, and a letter from Dupont Bauduy and Co., re a shipment of cloth from their new woolen mill. There are also six letters from Richard Rush on current events in England and the United States including the divorce trial of Queen Caroline, the appointment of Sir Stratford Canning as the new minister to the United States and meetings with William Wilberforce and Sir Charles M'Carthy on the American Colonization Society. Additional letters discuss a debt collected for the Masons by John Jordan Crittenden, a medallion of Madison by Italian sculptor Franjonie, and allegations that Ely Magruder was a secret agent for the United States in Barbados. With these is an [1859?] facsimile of the 1765 Philadelphia Non-Importation Resolutions.
