- Scope and content:
-
Tucker's "Letters" are magnificent anonymous writing. Clay says the 2nd is excellent. Has presented Calhoun's and Judge White well. Self threw suspicion on Leigh for writing it. Newspapers will not publish it. Chronicle, Madisonian, Globe, Intelligencer will refuse. Self sent it to Telescope and friend Dawson sent it to Georgia. Hopes he can give Webster, who is playing a game of sections, a blow.
