1825260376Rhode Island 1825. unbound. very good. 1 page 12 x 7.75 inches Rhode Island October 29 1825. Written to President John Quincy Adams trying to convince him that he is a supporter in part: ".Mr. Pearce who is my competition for the seat which of lately occupied in Congress. Sir I am informed stated publicly and repeated that in conversation with you whilst last at Newport on your way to Washington you said to him that a short time since - that the whole delegation of the state of Rhode Island of course including myself were opposed to you. I have no confidence in the correctness of this report but their sic may be some who will believe it. The people of this state knowing that I have amongst them uniformly avowed my friendship for you as far as the report is credited be inclined to believe I have asserted one opinion at home and another at Washington. It is therefore injurious to my private character and I would feel myself under great obligation to you could you think there be no impropriety in enabling you to correct it." Several small spots and holes; very good- condition.<br/> <br/> Job Durfee was a politician and jurist from Rhode Island. Born at Tiverton he graduated from Brown University in 1813 and was admitted to the bar.

He was born lived and died in Whitpain close to Gwynedd and for many years he was one of the most conspicuous figures in the farming business and social circles of Gwynedd. He did much to improve the methods of farming planted hedges introduced the feeding of green fodder to cattle instead of grazing built a barn which was enormously large according to the usual standard and very early introduced the use of gypsum on fields. He was one of the first in Pennsylvania to introduce and breed Merino sheep and during the movement to establish the manufacture of silk he was one of its most zealous promoters. In 1791 Gov. Mifflin appointed him a justice of the peace and he continued as such until 1820 when he resigned and returned to farming and other entreprenureal pursuits. S&S/AI 7203; Sabin 71898; Rink 1148.
