Item Description

Letter, January 18, 1827, from Hermitage, published March 1904, advising Call to say nothing more about his past dispute with Col. White. Also, ''I see from the Governors proclamation that the Indians have been making some unprovoked massacres of your citizens . . . I trust you have chastised them severely for this unprovoked outrage. Remember, in Indian warfare, vigilance and celerity of movement, with silence and good order, on the march can alone ensure success . . . but you were with me too long in Indian Warfare, ever to be surprised. . .''

Andrew Jackson letters (photocopies), 1812-1842, 20 pp. (containing 22 letters), as published in The Collector: A Magazine for Autograph and Historical Collectors, between 1901 and 1908. Jackson wrote the letters to Richard K. Call from Washington, D.C. or from Nashville or the Hermitage, Tennessee. They concern personal and family matters as well as public affairs and figures, national politics and government, Florida events, military events, and other matters. The letters were apparently sold to The Collector editor Walter R. Benjamin by Ellen Call Long in 1900 or 1901 (see letters dated July 28, 1900 and October 10, 1900, Benjamin to Long, Box 1, Folder 15, Items 3 and 4). (From U.N.C. #2293-B)
