Letter from Roger B. Taney to Henry Baldwin

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger Brooke Taney writes to Henry Baldwin about the delay in payment for Baldwin's books. As Taney explains, "I have written to [the individual responsible for forwarding the money] requesting his immediate attention to the matter, if he has not already made the remittance." Justice Taney also offers an explanation for his delayed response to Baldwin's earlier letter, writing: "I have, since my spring circuit was over, been very much from home." In addition, Taney notes that one of his daughters "has been severely indisposed."
