- Correspondence of William Jarvis, businessman and consul at Lisbon, Portugal, concerns privateering, the impressment of U.S. seamen, the effects of the Napoleonic Wars on trade, and the loss of the frigate PHILADELPHIA. Correspondents include John M. Baker, John M. Forbes (1771-1831), George Erving, John Treadwell, Jacob Collamer, Horace Everett, and Daniel Humphreys. Letters from Collamer and Everett focus on a Daniel Webster debate in Congress (1830), the decline of the Federalist Party, and the anticipated wresting of political power from John Calhoun during the Van Buren administration.
