Gen. Jackson to Mr. Forsyth.
Washington, June 7, 1830.
Sir: 1 have received your letter ot the 2d in.
slant, enclosing a copy uf your letter to Mr.
Calhoun, of the 31st ult., and his reply thereto,
all of which 1 have duly noted.
You have requested a copy of Mr. Calhoun’s
letter to me of the 29ih of May last, for the pur
pose of its being shown lo Mr. Crawford.
Mr. Calhoun, iu h»s reply to you,* does not con
sent, nor yet object, to your being furnished
with a copy, but refers the tmiitcr to nay discre-
tibn.
A copy of the original leMer of Mr. Crawford
to vou having been submitted to me, it oc
curred as be ing proper ami correct that you
should be apprised cf Mr Calhoun’s answer,
and therefore it was shown to you 1 cannot
on reflection, perceive any impropriety in now
according to you the request you have made,
particularly as, your referring this matter to
Mr Calhoun, he does not object. I accord
ingly send it, with this injunction, that it be
used for no other purpose but the one you have
stated, to be shown to Mr. Crawford.
In the letter which you have addressed to
Mr. Calhoun, you state as follows, to wit
‘Having, at the request of tho President to be
inform* d what took place in the cabinet ol Mr.
Monroe on the subject of the Seminole cam
paign, laid before him a copy (except tbe omis-
>ion of a name) of a letter from Mr Craw-
f« rd ” Lc. Lc This is construed by Mr. Cal
‘•biiti ; **“* a declaration that I requested you to
' w.th the information. I am satisfi
Jt by you intended, and ! would
be glad jrou would so explain it to him. I nev-
< r conversed with you upon thi. fe ui.ject pre
vious to the time when you sent me Mr. Craw-
lord s letter. The facts are these: I had been
informed that Mr. Crawford had m-.de a state*
tfieiit concerning this business, which has come
to!be knowledge of Col.-James A. Hamilton,'
oi N-w York. On meeting with Col Hamil
ton I inquired ot him, and received for answer
that he had, but remarked that he did not think
it proper to communicate without the consent
•d the wider I answered, that, being inform
eil that the Marshal ol this district had, to a
triend o: mine, made a similar statement to that
said to have been m.ule by Mr. Crawford, 1
would be glad tqsee Mr. Crawford's statement,
and desired he would write aud obtain his con
sent My reasons were, that J had, from the
untlorm tnendly professions of Mr Calhoun,
always believed him my friend m all this Semi
nole business; and 1 had a desire to know if in
ibis I had been mistaken, and whether it was
possible fur Mr. Calhoun to have acted with
such insincerity and duplicity towards me.
1 have enclosed Mr. Calhoun a copy of this
letter; * J

conduct in all things was entirely opposed to
the secret, uncandid and unmanly course as
cribed to you by those intimations and I ban
ished from my mind what I conceived to be
unjust imputations upon your honor by asen*
bmg duplicity to you, and never until after
tue imputations were communicated to me of
the suggestions of the Marshal, as stated in
my letter to Mr Forsyth (a copy of which was
enclosed to you) it was then that I had a
desire to see the statement said to have b«.-»-u
made hy Mr. Crawford, and when information
(informed) by Colonel Hamilton that surh
statements had been seen in writing that I
mad* the request to see it, with the object of
laying it before you, which I then supposed
would meet your prompt and positive nega
tive. Rut I regret that instead of a nega
tive which I had a right to expect, 1 had the
poignant mortification to see iu vour letter an
admission of its truth. Understanding ' the
matter now, I feel no interest in this alterca*

concerned, to settle the affair in your own wav,

General Jackson to.Mr. Calhoun.
Hermitage, June 19,* 1830.
Sir’ Yourleiter of the 22d June last has just
been received, via Washington city. X regret
that mine to you ofthe 7th of May, covering a
copy of one to Mr. Forsyth from me of the
same date, had not reached you, as it would
have prevented you from falling into tho gross
errors you have, from the unfounded inferen
ces you have drawn from Mr. Forsyth’s letter
to me, and would have informed you that 1
had no conversation or communication with
Mr Forsyth on the subject alluded to, before
ihe receipt of the copy of Mr. Crawford’s let
ter which i so promptly laid before you. To
correct the errors into which tho inferences
you have drawn from Mr. Forsyth’s letter
have led you. I herewith again enclose you
a copy of my letter to Mr. Forsyth of the 7lh
May, and his answer thereto of the 17lh June
last, which 1 received on the 8th inst. and 1
have to regret that any interruption of the mail
prevented your receipt of mine of the 7th of
May which was mailed the same time mine to
Mr. Forsyth was.
Mr Forsyth having promised, in his letter
to me of the t7lh June, that he would explain,
aud by letter correct you in the unjust and un
founded inferences which you had drawn from
his letter, and I must add here, for your infor
(nation, that, if I understood your other allu
sions, they are as equally unfounded. I have
never heard it even intimated, except ia your
letter, that the individual to whom I suppose
you allude, had the slightest, knowledge on
the subject, or the most remote agency in
the matter. Xu conclusion, I repeat, I have
always met the intimations of your having
made before the cabinet, tu secret council, a-
oainst me, injurious movements, with flat and
positive denial, and brought iuto view, hy wav
of rebutter, your uniform and full approval
jf my whole conduct on the Seminole cam
• uiign, so far as 1. or any of my friends had

.Mr. Calhoun to General Jackson.
Fort Hill, 25ih Aug. 1830.
Sir: 1 receivi-d, on the Gen iiw your letter
dated Cue 19ih June but wh ch 1 suppose was
intended lor the 19th ot July, with its eucio*
'tires. Outbe 24:hoi Jure, I received tho
of Mr. Forsyth covering a copy of h s
letter Jo you ot \ b.e X7.& “jowr
ietter ofthe 7:h June covering a copy of your
et'.er to Mr. Forsyth, till the 14th July.
Yeu regret that 1 did not receive your 'let
ter of the 7th June before; 1 wrote mine of the
?3:h of the same month, ou ihe ground, to use
your own language, that it w uid have pie-
vented uie, ‘ from tailing into the gross errors
you have, from th**- unfounded inferences you
have drawn lrom Mr. Forsyth’s letter to me.”
You cannont more sincere.ly regret than X do
that any delay in the mail deprived me ofthe
advantage ot the statement in your letter to
Mr. Forsyth, seeing that you deem it material
(o a correct understanding of the facts , but l
must say after a careful perusal of your letter
fohimas well as yours to myself, X am utter
ly at a loss to perceive the “gross »rrors” of
which VOU arenui mn Ac J -— —a • -
sfand you, they seem to consist in tbe suppo
sition that I inferred from Mr. Forsyth’s fit
ter that you applied to him personally to oh-
tain the information from Mr. Crawford of what
took place iu the cabmei ou the Seminole
question: whereas in fact you applied not to
him, but to Mr. Jurncs Hamilton of New-York
and it was he and not you, who applied to Mr*.. _
Forsyth to obtain the information It there be
a d fference iu principle b* twi en the t «vo state
ments, I can only say that I am not responsi
ble lor it. The charge “error” ought io be
made against Mr. Forsyth not me. H;s words
are, “Having at the request of the President
to be informed what took place iu the cabinet
ol Mr Monroe on the subj- ct of the Senunule
campaign laid before him a Copy (except the o-
missiou ofa name)ot‘a letl* rfrom Mr Crawford,
which, has since been communicated to you,”
4*c. &c. Now, sir, if 1 had inferred from tb sc
words, as you suppose 1 did, (hat von had per-
s on ally applied to Mr Forsyth ’0 ole am 1 1 • in
formation tor you, I nouid havi done no more
than what 1 (airly aught without the impuM-
t:on of “gross error*,” nut I made no such in
ference, on tho contrary I have used almost
tho very words of Mr Forsyth. My language
is, “I had supposed from the Complex ou of
vour letters to me th.it a copy oi Mr. Craw
ford’s letter to Mr. Forsyth had been (dared
by the latter in your hands, without my previ
ous act or agency on your part, hut, by Mr.
Forsyth’s letter to me, I am informed that
such is not the fact. It seem> that he acted
as your agent in the affair. He states that you
applied to him to be informed of what took place
in the cabinet of Mr Monroe on the subject of
»he Seminole Campaign " Iu my I* tier lo Mr.
Forsyth I used almost verbal urn the same* lan
guage. As far as 1 am capable of understand
ing the force of words my language does not
vaty, in the smallest degree, in its sense, from
that used hy Mr Forsyth in his letter to me,
and most certainly does not more strongly im
ply than bis does that you applied to
iiirn personally for the information —
But, suppose 1 had fallen into the “gross er*
rors” of mfering from Mr. Forsyth’s letter that
you had personally applied to him, when in
fact it was not you hut vour agent James Ham
ilton (of New-York ) who applied for you in
your name as Mr. Forsyth informed you iu his
letter of the 17th June; it requires more pen
etration than 1 possess to discover how ihe
d fference can in the slightest degree, uff-ct
the only maternal question, whether be acted
«s a mere volunteer, or as your agent. Mr.
Forsyth himself decides the question. lie
tells you expressly that he did not act as a vol-
uutecr; and it is on the grotrod that he acted
for you and not for himself, that I claimed of
you to’ be put in possession of certain facts
connected with the subject of oor corr espond
ence, which were in the possession of Mr. For-
yth, which I deemed important to the tu I de
velopment of this affair, but, instead-of com
plying with so reasonable a request, you reply,
iot by denying the justice of tbe request, nor
hat be acted for you. and not for himself but
by accusing me of "gross errors,” an assump
tion on yonr part at once gratuitous aud imma
terial, that I had inferred that you had applied
to Mr. Forsyth personally, when in fact,
the application had been made )5»r v«o 4 (gt
