Title: Letter, July 24, 1825, Andrew Jackson, Hermitage, to Richard K. Call, Tallahassee, 3 pp., regarding Call's response to an attack made on him in the papers: "I sincerely regret that you have cause to suspect Major Saml. R. Overton of being secretly your enemy. I hope and trust he is incapable of such conduct -- you are aware of my high and exalted opinion of his honesty and uprightness, and should this be established against him I will abandon him -- but the fact will fill me with the utmost regret -- you know my course, I never abandon a man that I have taken by the hand, and hugged to my bosom as a friend, untill I know he is unworthy of it. . ." Expresses good wishes toward Richard Call and Mary: "Mrs. J. has received Mary's kind and affectionate letter; she sends her good wishes and blessing to you both, accept mine, and may you both prosper and be as happy as we wish you." Also tells of a "dinner given to the four Representatives who voted for me on the presidential question . . . upwards of four thousand attended and many appropriate toasts were drunk. Many others are to be given and if as numerously attended it will show the feeling of the State as it regards Clay's course, and prostrate him forever -- his friends will regret these dinners -- he has sold all his property and is gone to the city where he will remain -- he will, as I believe, never return to Kentucky." Concludes in a postscript, "Mrs. J. says to Mrs. C. that Genl Houston has returned single, without the wife, to Tennessee; there must be some mishap, but the Genl says not -- it is to be in the fall says the Genl."
