Letter from Roger B. Taney to J. Mason Campbell

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney writes to J. Mason Campbell and provides an update on his travel plans. Campbell should expect Taney and his wife to arrive [in Baltimore?] on Tuesday morning because Mrs. Taney is not well enough to make the journey tonight (Friday). Taney notes that his wife has been made weak with grief and worry: "The loss of dear little Lizzie & the fears for dear Anne have utterly overcome my poor wife -- and you can hardly imagine what a wreck it has made of her." Transcript included.
