Letter: London, to Isaac Graham

Letter: St. John's Wood, to unknown correspondent

"Now sir you have fallen into the same mistake, for no two pictures could be more unlike . . . I hope you will do me the justice of putting this matter right."

Discusses the prospect of impending war with England over the Oregon boundary and the course he thinks the Society of Friends should take in the matter: "It seems to me probable that if it should be right for friends to move at all in petitioning for peace, independent action might be more effective."

Letter: Boston, Mass., to General H.A.S. Dearborn, 1783-1851, Roxbury, Mass.
