Letters, Charlottesville, to Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart, Staunton [manuscript] 1841 September 24 and November 15.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647950146

Gilmer sends to Stuart a copy of a letter he has written to a constituent of Stuart's regarding Stuart's alleged statements on President Tyler's modification and subsequent 2nd veto of the new U.S. Bank bill. He asks about the truth of the allegations, reports that the Whigs will probably abide by the second veto and that he does not know Tyler's intentions, reflects that it is better for the country to battle over principles than characters, comments on his upcoming campaign and his being at cross purposes with "cousin William" Cabell Rives, denies that he is quarrelling with Wise or Tyler, alludes to the scandal regarding Tyler's "Cabal" and states that he prefers his rural home to Washington.
