Henry Clay, Washington, D.C. to Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, 1839
- Containers:
- Box 48, Folder 13
- Scope and content:
-
Cherishes no enmity toward J[ohn] Randolph. Knew him 33 years. Was eccentric and sometimes that is hard to distinquish from derangement. Believed him occasionally suffering derangement. More manifest in his affair with Bolling Robertson in 1816 and discussions in House of Representatives with Mr. Sheffey. At time of Decatur's death, he evidenced unequivocal evidence of derangement. Believes others, Colonel C.F. Mercer, L.W. Tazewell, could better testify toward his derangement. House not organized yet. Thinks sub-treasury bill will pass. Mentions events at Harrisburg (Whig Convention).
