Jabez Delano Hammond to MVB, 23 January 1816

I duly received your letter of the 10th Instant. I called twice at your lodgings before you left Washington but was so unfortunate as not to find you in. One object which rendered me desirous to converse with you was to have obtained your advice on the subject of selecting a Candidate for the next Presidency, another was to have submitted some of my ideas to you respecting the merits of an...

Jabez Delano Hammond to MVB, 9 February 1822

I have just received your letter of the 30th. ult. for which you will please to accept my thanks. I ought to have informed you that I did know that my Friend Mr. Doty had been recommended to be appointed a Judge in case Congress shall think proper to create a Northwestern District.

Jabez Delano Hammond to MVB, 13 December 1833

I wrote you some time ago communicating some of my views in relation to future political transactions and afterwards requested my old Friend McIntyre to call on you in Newyork on the same subject.

Jabez Delano Hammond to MVB, 7-16 April 1844

I am fully aware that your opponents are pushing the question respecting the annexation of Texas and questions in relation to the Tariff for the purpose—perhaps for the sole purpose of embarrassing your Northern Friends, but that our Southern Democratic Friends and your Friends in that quarter should aid in this ungenerous enterprize is to me truly astonishing. More than forty years experience... Continue Reading

Jabez Delano Hammond to MVB, 12 May 1844

So far as the result of the Presidential election shall be affected by the result of the election in this state I can not believe there is any just ground of alarm. I can not and will not believe that the Democratic party are so senseless as to be operated on by the cry of there originating solely from their opponents that their candidate is unpopular. If a man whose talents are admitted to... Continue Reading
