John A. Hamilton letter to N. Hinman

Manuscripts

In this letter to Mr. N. Hinman, the Chairman of Board of Trustees of Pacific University in Oregon, John A. Hamilton writes on behalf of the American College and Education Society in Boston. He discusses "the loosing of Pacific University from Congregational moorings" and "the grave issue" of "the speedy coming into existence of a competing Congregational Institution." He suggests a solution: "Let the Trustees pass the provision for Change of Charter which the Statute law of the State offers." Mr. Hamilton also advises that the University not relocate, as a railroad may be constructed nearby. Typewritten letter, signed by hand.

Andrew Jackson, camp on Thompson's Creek, letter to Pathkiller :

Manuscripts

Jackson is responding to Pathkiller's letter of October 22; approves of his sending spies to investigate fires. Jackson is leaving his encampment the following day and hopes to encounter hostile Creek Indians. Pathkiller (d. 1827) was the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation and served as a colonel under Jackson during the Creek War. This item appears to be a letter written and signed for Jackson by an amanuensis, or it may possibly be his own autograph altered as a result of gunshot wounds received in a recent fight with Jesse Benton and Thomas Hart Benton. The Papers of Andrew Jackson list this item as a copy.
