Letter, 6 September 1851, to Henry Summer (1809-1869) of Newberry, South Carolina discussing issues of secession and an encounter with President Millard Fillmore (1800-1874) during a trip to the North: "You are right in supposing that I am disposed to keep aloof from politics ... it is unsuited to my profession & the general tenour of my thoughts & studies. I however do not conceal my sentiments & when asked I express them without reserve. I do not go for the compromise or for submission under it. My views do not materially differ from those of McDonald, Quitman, Butler Soule Davis & c- I am opposed to separate state secession, but in favour of agitation, uniting the south - biding our time, & then if we do not receive justice in the Union, we can secure it out of it."
