- Abstract:
- 33 ALS to Freaner from friends and associates, some of them Army officers and government officials, and 5 copies of letters he wrote to others. Eleven letters are from John Maginnis; these discuss Delta business and the court of inquiry, other New Orleans newspapers, and the reaction of people in New Orleans to the dispatches he sent from Mexico. Other letters regard payment of loans made to others, a projected mail line in the Gulf, municipal elections in New Orleans, and news from the United States when Freaner was out of the country. Correspondents include General D. E. Twiggs, General Robert Patterson, Francis M. Dimond, and Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro. With an incomplete draft of an article, notes taken of Major Hobbie about English steamers in the Gulf, and a receipt for sales made by Freaner while he was auctioneer in Vera Cruz in June and July, 1848.
- Description:
- Freaner, a correspondent for the New Orleans Delta during the Mexican War, signed his dispatches from the front "Mustang." He also carried the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to Washington, and became involved in a quarrel between General Winfield Scott and General Gideon Pillow that resulted in the convening of a court of inquiry. After the war, Freaner spent some time in the United States and then seems to have worked in Mexico with a General Smith, perhaps General Persifor Smith, who was commander of the Pacific Division until 1850., John Maginnis was Freaner's editor at the New Orleans Delta., Purchased from Alta California Bookstore on the Frederick W. & Carrie S. Beinecke Fund for Western Americana., and Some letters torn, affecting text.

- Abstract:
- 33 ALS to Freaner from friends and associates, some of them Army officers and government officials, and 5 copies of letters he wrote to others. Eleven letters are from John Maginnis; these discuss Delta business and the court of inquiry, other New Orleans newspapers, and the reaction of people in New Orleans to the dispatches he sent from Mexico. Other letters regard payment of loans made to others, a projected mail line in the Gulf, municipal elections in New Orleans, and news from the United States when Freaner was out of the country. Correspondents include General D. E. Twiggs, General Robert Patterson, Francis M. Dimond, and Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro. With an incomplete draft of an article, notes taken of Major Hobbie about English steamers in the Gulf, and a receipt for sales made by Freaner while he was auctioneer in Vera Cruz in June and July, 1848.
- Description:
- Freaner, a correspondent for the New Orleans Delta during the Mexican War, signed his dispatches from the front "Mustang." He also carried the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to Washington, and became involved in a quarrel between General Winfield Scott and General Gideon Pillow that resulted in the convening of a court of inquiry. After the war, Freaner spent some time in the United States and then seems to have worked in Mexico with a General Smith, perhaps General Persifor Smith, who was commander of the Pacific Division until 1850., John Maginnis was Freaner's editor at the New Orleans Delta., Purchased from Alta California Bookstore on the Frederick W. & Carrie S. Beinecke Fund for Western Americana., and Some letters torn, affecting text.

After the war, Freaner spent some time in the United States and then seems to have worked in Mexico with a General Smith, perhaps General Persifor Smith, who was commander of the Pacific Division until 1850., John Maginnis was Freaner's editor at the New Orleans Delta., Purchased from Alta California Bookstore on the Frederick W. & Carrie S. Beinecke Fund for Western Americana., and Some letters torn, affecting text.

- Abstract:
- 33 ALS to Freaner from friends and associates, some of them Army officers and government officials, and 5 copies of letters he wrote to others. Eleven letters are from John Maginnis; these discuss Delta business and the court of inquiry, other New Orleans newspapers, and the reaction of people in New Orleans to the dispatches he sent from Mexico. Other letters regard payment of loans made to others, a projected mail line in the Gulf, municipal elections in New Orleans, and news from the United States when Freaner was out of the country. Correspondents include General D. E. Twiggs, General Robert Patterson, Francis M. Dimond, and Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro. With an incomplete draft of an article, notes taken of Major Hobbie about English steamers in the Gulf, and a receipt for sales made by Freaner while he was auctioneer in Vera Cruz in June and July, 1848.
- Description:
- Freaner, a correspondent for the New Orleans Delta during the Mexican War, signed his dispatches from the front "Mustang." He also carried the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to Washington, and became involved in a quarrel between General Winfield Scott and General Gideon Pillow that resulted in the convening of a court of inquiry. After the war, Freaner spent some time in the United States and then seems to have worked in Mexico with a General Smith, perhaps General Persifor Smith, who was commander of the Pacific Division until 1850., John Maginnis was Freaner's editor at the New Orleans Delta., Purchased from Alta California Bookstore on the Frederick W. & Carrie S. Beinecke Fund for Western Americana., and Some letters torn, affecting text.

- Abstract:
- The volume also includes Kelso family accounts dated 1789-1806, and one page of accounts in Louisiana in 1782; two verses of an untitled patriotic poem by H. Thomas; and a brief entry dated January 24, 1798, noting the plan of Joseph Kelso to go to the East Indies. and Volume containing Kelso's journal (May 10-October 9, 1792) of a trip with Simpson on three flatboats that they constructed for the purpose of transporting flour from Fort Pitt down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. The brief entries describe their daily travels, noting settlements that were later to be founded including Point Pleasant, West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Louisville. Kelso notes observing Indians, killing a bear, and meeting inhabitants of Natchez, Baton Rouge, Atakapass (where the flatboats were disposed of), and New Orleans. As the men were unable to sell the flour easily it was sold in Atakapass for cattle, which they had butchered and sold in New Orleans. The final entries (December 11, 1792-October 22, 1893) describe Kelso and Simpson's voyages from New Orleans to Alexandria, Virginia, via Havana, during which they were captured, imprisoned on St. Thomas, and then released from the crew of a British warship, finally landing at Alexandria on October 22, 1893.
