Since McMaster is considering the propriety of repudiation of unconstitutional obligations, Smith sends him a pamphlet he wrote in 1843 on the subjects. It attracted some attention at the time, and drew bitter reproach from certain quarters. But it was never answered to Smith's knowledge. P.S. Smith does not wish to have McMaster refer to him unless the authenticity of the pamphlet should be denied. To this is added a note: If the man, clerk, or gentleman who opens and first examines McMaster's documents values his salvation and Smith's friendship, he should be sure and place this letter and the enclosed pamphlet in McMaster's hands. Enclosure: A pamphlet of 34 pp. Full title: "A Letter on the Subject of Repudiation from Franklin Smith of Madison County, Mi., to Carroll Spence, Esq ., of Baltimore City, Md. "Dated: Canton, Miss., March 30, 1843. The pamphlet bears the name of N. Carroll Mason :: I-1-n A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
