Letters from James Buchanan to Samuel Ingham

James Buchanan writes to Samuel D. Ingham, Esquire, discussing a conflict between him and General Jackson which Buchanan is to address in the Lancaster Journal. He expresses concern over "the preservation of [his] own character." He claims in a subsequent letter that the "Jackson papers generally have managed the subject very discretely." In the last letter, Buchanan discusses the presidency of John Tyler, the Bank bill, and Daniel Webster. Transcripts included.
