Letter, 1856 November 7, John Tyler Jr., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Henry A. Wise

Happy that the North did not come out too strongly as that would have damaged the administration; claims that the "Forney Clique would have succeeded"; feels that Forney and his friends would have brought chaos to the country; believes that Forney is actually being dictated to by a group of men, and they are responsible for the destructive comments on Robert Tyler; postulates that their plan is to "kill [Wise] off" and replace him.
