Manuscripts
Letters, many marked "Private" and "Confidential," received by George Dallas during his term as the American minister to Great Britain from the Secretary of State William Learned Marcy, American Senator Lewis Cass, as well as George Villers, 4th Earl of Clarendon, British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and his office. The correspondence deals primarily with the Dallas-Clarendon Convention. There are also drafts of the treaty and other preparatory materials, including a printed text with revisions made in the Senate, March 1857, and Dallas's notes on Jay's Treaty. Some letters also discuss the reception of the HMS Resolute, privateering and the right of search and seizure, political consequences of the 1856 elections, and other matters.
