Charles Carroll (of Bellevue) Papers by Charles Holker Carroll PDF Summary

Book Description: Containing a total of 39 letters and documents, The Charles Carroll (of Bellevue) Papers span the latter years of Charles Carroll of Bellevue and the adulthood of his son Charles H. Carroll. The collection is divided into two sections: ephemera and correspondence, with the correspondence subdivided into those which pertain to family and political matters. Ephemeral items include a stereotype of Charles Carroll of Bellevue, newspaper clippings from the murder of his son Henry Carroll at the hand of Major Richard Gentry, expense records (some documenting purchases Henry made in London), and documents heralding the quality of Charles H. Carroll's imported bull 'Usurper.' Henry Carroll's London purchases were an attempt to court Emily Caxtan, however, she did not return his advances, and married another man. The family correspondence mainly concern Charles Carroll of Bellevue and his son, Charles Holker Carroll. The topics of the correspondence vary and are at times light-hearted, but occasionally very serious, such as the letter in which Charles Carroll addresses Charles Holker to both congratulate him on his marriage and express his grief and anger at the murder of Henry. Correspondence which is neither from nor addressed to either Charles is also present, such as correspondence between Alida Carroll and Ann Carroll (daughter and mother in law, respectively). With the exception of several letters dated prior to 1823, such as Charles Carroll's letter to James Monroe resigning his position in the Missouri territory as Federal Registrar of Lands, the political correspondence in the collection pertain to the career Charles H. Carroll led as a judge and member of the New York State and federal legislature (both as a member of the Senate and the House of Representatives). The dinner invitation extended to Charles Holker came from friends within the Whig party and includes signatures from David Graham, J.S. Woodhall, Jas. VanMostrand, Jas. Thayer, and Marshall Roberts on behalf of the Whig corresponding committee. Other notable figures in this collection include Henry Clay, James Madison, and Thurlow Weed (see collection A.W39), the latter two being correspondents. Henry Clay is not a correspondent, but a copy of his legal act which changed compensation for employees at federal land offices is included.
