First edition. 23 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. This related to the question of the mission to the Panama Congress. Simon Bolivar had called the Congress and in 1825 the United States had been included among the invitees. President Adams believed that the U. S. should be represented but it was later revealed that there was some plan among the Latin America republics to unite against Spain or other unfriendly nations and to establish an assembly with full war powers. Adams decided to send two delegates and to limit the U. S. participation. There was serious debates in Congress and in the end the U. S. was not represented but due to the death of one of the Representatives Ricahard C. Anderson and John Sergeant was only as far as Mexico City when the Congress adjourned. Sabin 34755.

2753ALS. 3pg. 8 x 10. July 20 1913. Balboa. An autograph letter signed James to his mother. James was working on the Panama Canal: We are having real nice weather here in Balboa. I got up rather early this morning and it is now 6:30 A.M. and the thermometer is just 76 so that it is really comfortable as you can imagine. Some of the boys that are new-comers here want me to go across the canal to a native village with them as I talk Spanish and they thought I could guide them a little better as I know the culture and language of the natives. One man is sort of a horticulturist and agriculturist from one of the western states just came here to work on the docks & terminals and he is very much interested in plant and jungle life here. I have told him about none of thethat I have found along rivers and in swamps and he is so much interested in finding some himself but they are a little hard to find that is you usually find them when you least expect to run into themthere is such little duty into Panama really if anywe had a shake up in organization and fortunately I came out with the survivors and have a real nice job. Am still on the permanent town site works and terminals and like that work so much. The letter has the usual mailing folds but is in very fine condition otherwise. unknown
