Van Buren writes primarily about the fallout over the presidential election of 1800, which elected Thomas Jefferson president and Aaron Burr vice president. He discusses Aaron Burr and newspaper editor James Cheetham, who had publicized claims that Burr had conspired to win the presidency. Also mentions the current fever epidemic in New York, presumably yellow fever.
