Letter from Roger B. Taney to James M. Campbell

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney writes to James Mason Campbell regarding the financial troubles of a family member. As Taney's brother "had drawn on me," Taney sends Campbell "the above to pay my brother's draft on me." Taney explains his concern that his brother "had not received my letter and that he might suffer for want of money." Taney also hopes to write a letter to his brother "if I could find a moment free from the engagements of the [Supreme] Court." Transcript included.
