(Private)
Washington 2 Jan’y 1835
Dear Sir,
Your letter of Dec. 20th to a friend of ours, in this place, has been shown to me, with the request,
that I would let you know, that it has come safely to hand. - I have noticed speculations, which
have occasionally appeared in your paper, on the subject of the Next Presidency. In one of the
last of these in which you make a handsome allusion to Mr. Webster, you incline to the opinion,
that it is best to await the selection of some candidate, in whom all the opponents of the
administration can unite; the selection to be made by a general convention, or in some other way.
Similar suggestions appear in other friendly papers. But I think I run no risk in saying, that no
such convention can be had; & no such agreement on a candidate can take place. The Southern
Whigs offer no thing better, than Judge White. An attempt, it is said, has been made, or is now
making in Ohio, to commit that state for Judge McLean. - Local nominations are not the most
desirable ones. [Signature cut out from reverse side. Text losses added in pencil] They (have not
the weight of) general nominations (But it would seem) in the present
�[Page 2]
state of things that there is no other way in which those from whom the choice must
ultimately be made, can be brought forward. Massachusetts, I think, will move early this
winter, & present the name of Mr. Webster. He is the only candidate, who, to the full
extent, represents her principles; - his defence of the constitution seemed to demand it;
and his prospect of taking the vote of the whig states is better than that of any other
candidate. - The tone of the Maryland papers is decidedly favorable to him; in Kentucky
he stands next to Mr. C.; & in Ohio second to no one, not even Judge McLean. In New
York he is incontestably the strongest anti Van Buren man. - His friends at home are
strongly disposed to urge his pretensions; prepared to employ all Laws & means to ensure
success, & not ashamed to foil, in so respectable a cause. –
These suggestions, of course, are private & confidential; but may serve in some degree,
to apprize you of the sentiments of one portion of the Whig party.

My Dear Sir
I received your letter and was in hopes it would by followed by the papers containing the
notice you spoke of of the commercial question suggested by my report. Will you do me
the favour to send them to me? I forwarded to you a few days ago a copy of the Report on
African Colonization which has at last made its appearance. It was the delay of this
report and the conputation[?] of it through the that prevented me making the competition
we desired of the work of the committee on commerce during the last congress. You will
�[Page 2]
find this report extremely valuable for the amount and quality of its matters as well as for
the great importance of the question it presents.
In regard to the prospects of the Whig party I think it may be said the every day we are
making assurance doubly free [?]
Yours truly
J.P. Kennedy
Balt. Nov. 8 1843

N. Sargent Esq. Washington, D.C.
Boston 28 November 1868
Dear Sir
I am indebted to you for your kind note, and its inclosure correcting an error into which
the Washington Chronicle had fallen in regard to my fathers policy whilst President.
If the writer could have seen the letter addressed to him by friends, remonstrating against
what they called his fatal system of retaining opponents in office, which have just ben
passing under my eye, he would probably have blamed him for his opposite action as
entirely contrary to all received nations of the present day. My father was the last person
who ever practiced upon such a thing, and will probably in the end be cited at marking an
era in American history on that point.
�[Page 2]
Thanking you for your very spontaneous kindness
I remain Yours truly
C. F. Adams
