Description: Letter from George C. Sibley to Samuel Hopkins Sibley. He discusses their father and his current situation, and believes that their father has enemies who are working to remove him from the office of Indian Agent. He tells Samuel that he will not be able to help in the matter of the Grand Ecore estate. He has also heard that General Jackson was in New Orleans and in action with the British invading army, but awaits the outcome of this. He tells him that the Senate passed the Bank Law by a small majority and that it is doubtful whether the President will sign it or not. Some Congressmen think the nation will be dissolved, but if they hear of Jackson's victory, a new spirit will be imparted to Congress. George discusses his personal affairs regarding old acquaintances and marriage.
