[PRESIDENTS]. JACKSON, Andrew (1767-1845). Autograph letter signed ("Andrew Jackson") as President, to William Donelson, Washington, 22 March 1829. 1½ pages, folio. THE DISGRACE OF JACKSON'S WARD. Jackson confesses displeasure over the recent suspension of his ward, Andrew Jackson Hutchings, from college. Expressing concerns about reputation and honor, Jackson confesses that "This intelligence is a sore grief to me...I was not prepared you may say to him to hear of his disgrace, which I had taken so much pains, by my frequent admonitions to prevent, nor did I believe he would so far forget himself, or to inflict such a wound on my feelings...But it is so, and I must adopt such measures, as will yet preserve him from ruin, & myself from disgrace." Jackson suggests that Hutchings be enrolled with Mr. Otey at Franklin and concludes "I find it useless to attempt to make him a good classic scholar, and all I now hope for is to give him an education to fit him for a farmer." Jackson also mentions his late wife Rachel, and asks whether her pet "poor poll the favourite bird of my dear wife is still living." -- HARRISON, William Henry (1773-1841). Autograph letter signed ("W.H. Harrison") to M.T. Williams, North Bend, 25 December 1821. 2 pages, small 4to. HARRISON SEEKS A SENATE SEAT. Seeking support for his bid for an Ohio Senate seat, he notes that "you & Genl Webb got so well acquainted with the members [of the Ohio State Legislature] last year that you will have more in yr power than the others but the exertion of all will probably be necessary." He acknowledges that in the last campaign "There were a number of the upper members who...voted against me solely from local considerations"; but is encouraged that "they all strongly disclaimed any personal Hostility and...professed a friendship for me & a willingness to have served me if any obligation to what they Considered to be the interests of their immediate Constituents had not forbade it." Harrison's efforts failed in 1822, but two years later he did win the Senate seat. -- MONROE, James (1758-1831).
