- Scope and content:

Feared his health too bad to be interested in letters. Glad Beverley wrote . Regrets Beverley was not elected to Congress. Self refused going to Senate for family reasons and in disapproval of wrangling in it. Has always opposed the tariff. In 1816 voted for duty bill because the money was necessary to the government. Tariff is oppressive to southern industry. South Carolina in wrong only in character of her opposition. Very opposed to nullification. South Carolina could have resolved repeal of the tariff necessary or a separation from union inevitable but she should have have opposed law by counter legislation and use of troops. Hopes Carolina will suspend her ordnance. Congress will repeal tariff act, and Virginia will propose a general convention to settle matters. Has written by candlelight Doctor Magill and Anne are with him. Regards to him.
