Title: General Scott's Correspondence with Hon. W.L. Marcy Secretary of War under President Polk
Author: Scott, Winfield and Hon. W. L. Marcy
Description: 16 pp. 24.5x16.5 cm. (9¾x6½"), untrimmed and unopened signature.Compilation aimed at undermining presidential political ambitions of General Winfield Scott, "The following correspondence is copied from the official records. It proves, more than any other argument could establish, the marked unfitness of General Scott for the duties of the presidency, and fully confirms the declarations of many of those who now support, that he has neither the temper, the capacity, nor the experience for that highest of all civil stations."
