JACKSON, Andrew (1767-1848), President. Autograph letter signed ("Andrew Jackson") as Major General of the Tenessee Volunteers to Colonel Robert Hayes, Fort Strother, Alabama, 4 January 1814. 1 page, 4to, 198 x 60 mm. (7 x 6 in.), integral address leaf marked in Jackson's hand "on public service." INSUBORDINATION DURING THE CREEK WARS. From a frontier outpost in Indian territory, a distraught Jackson reports on an officer's insubordination: "Since closing...I was interrupted by a report of the adjutant General of an officer,...that being ordered by me to consider himself under an arrest - had refused to obey the order saying his sword would be his protection to the Tennessee river...I immediately ordered my guards...and took him [arrested him] at the head of his company. Whether I will not send him to Genl. Pinckney or not I cannot say..." This letter documents Jackson's growing frustration with his meager command. Ten days later 800 fresh recruits would arrive, enabling him to defeat Creek war parties at Emuckfaw and Enotachopco in crucial encounters. -- JACKSON. Autograph letter signed ("Andrew Jackson") TO AMOS KENDALL, the Hermitage, [Nashville, Tenn.], 6 November 1841. 1 page, 4to, 250 x 198 mm. Fine. JACKSON TO AMOS KENDALL OF THE "KITCHEN CABINET" Amos Kendall (1789-1869), Jackson's correspondent, was a Kentucky journalist and one of Old Hickory's close political allies; it was largely through Kendall that Jackson carried the state of Kentucky in the election of 1828. During the Jackson presidency, Kendall was one of the five members of Jackson's so-called "Kitchen" Cabinet, a group of unofficial political confidants, and he is believed to have written a number of Jackson's annual messages to Congress. Jackson writes: "...With this letter will be mailed my deposition taken...this day. Your letter... reached me..., and I lost no time, as far as my strength would permit to answer the interrogatories, and Judge Brown...was good enough to come up today & take my deposition...I thank you for your new paper, will subscribe for it soon. In haste yrs Andrew Jackson." (2)
