Papers, 1776-1876.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80200421

This miscellaneous group of letters is written mainly by members of the Biddle and Rush families. The largest group of letters in this section are those of Richard Rush, 1812-1857, covering his career as Comptroller of the Treasury, acting Secretary of State, Minister to Great Britain, Secretary of the Treasury, Minister to France, and private citizen. Some of the Rush letters deal with domestic politics and foreign policy, but the greater part is either routine official business or personal in nature. Clement Biddle's letters, 1781-1813, relate mostly to business affairs. Present, too, are two smaller groups: Nicholas Biddle's papers, 1824-1842 concern banking and the Second Bank of the United States; and Episcopal Bishop of Alabama, Richard H. Wilmer's letters, 1812-1857, discuss church matters.
