Papers, 1838-1845.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/7027906

In the years between Texas independence and outbreak of the Mexican-American War, Bacheler (1800-1848) and the New York Peace Society worked vigorously to promote peaceful relations between Mexico and the U.S. and between Mexico and France. The papers document Bacheler's activities as corresponding secretary of the society and include an essay, or speech on war, the second annual report of the society (manuscript), a petition (printed) to Congress proposing arbitration between Mexico and France, and letters received from John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Juan de la Granja, Juan Nepomuceno Almonte and other officials thanking Bacheler for his efforts towards peace; in particular, Adams (1838 Nov. 19) states that while he respects the work of the Society he cannot participate in society activities as he represents the whole nation and not individual factions. Letters from the Union Literary and Debating Society request Bacheler to lecture and then thank him for having done so. In the collection is a partial genealogy of the Bacheler family and a photograph of Charlotte Wright Thompson Bacheler.
