Letters to Jackson

Elsewhere in the papers was this set of letters to Jackson from his cousin. I don't know for certain that it is a complete record of this half of the exchange, but it covers nearly a year's worth of correspondence. As best as I can determine they chronicle, in part, a theological argument between the two over what I suspect was a religio-scholarly undertaking they and their compatriots had begun some years before. There isn't much in Jackson's records about the specifics. Other letters (to be scanned soon) may shed some more light.















One odd note - a new daughter is repeatedly referenced in the letters, but family records only list Jackson and his wife as having a son born several years prior to these letters.
