Mitchell, Samuel L., fl. 1829
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Benjamin Romaine, Esq.
Regarding friction in the early 19th century America and the rise of various secession movements. In part: "That a few mad or unfortunate persons of the old federal party might have thought of dissolving the confederacy, is despicable enough; but I never thought they could have carried the population of the New England States with them in such a treasonable and suicidal measure."
