ALS signed “Ch. Carroll of Carrollton,” one page, 8 x 10, May 25, 1827. Carroll writes about the upcoming presidential contest in answer to a question from an Annapolis printer, William M’Neir, who issued a newspaper known as The Carrolltonian, or Spirit of Seventy-Six, in full: “I received your letter of the 23rd. I take no part in the contest respecting the election of the next President, of course. I give no opinion which of the candidates should be the choice of the people: anxious for the welfare of the country, my only wish is that it may fall on him whose measures may be directed to the public good. I have requested Mr. Brice to get from you my account. I think one year’s of my subscription to the Carrolltonion is due, which Mr. Brice will pay out of the first monies belonging to me in his hands,” adding the post script, “I had just finished this letter when my grandson Mr. Ch[arles] Harper called upon me. I communicated to him your letter to me & my answer; he desired me to permit him to take a copy of the first paragraph to insert in the evening’s paper of this day; that my sentiments respecting the presidential election may be more generally known. I consented to his request,” initialed, “C. C. of C.” Address panel on reverse penned in Carrollton’s hand. Professionally cleaned and restored, with shadows of previously intersecting folds, some scattered light creasing, uniform toning, scattered light foxing, mild brushing to the signature and some of the text, an area of restored paper above the address panel, and the faint remnants of a wax seal, otherwise very good condition. A wealthy Maryland landowner and businessman, the 88-year-old Carroll writes here about the upcoming Presidential contest, which saw a rematch between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, former opponents in the 1824 race as well.
