Letter from Roger B. Taney to William Beall

Attorney Roger Brooke Taney writes to William Beall, a member of Andrew Jackson's Democratic Central Committee, regarding legal issues of a mutual acquaintance. "You have I presume heard of the unfortunate affair in which Romeo's son William was supposed to be engaged" and, as Taney notes, "I hope I shall get him out of this trouble but in the mean time he is charged as an accessory." Transcript included.
