Abstract
Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, November 20, 1929. Hawley was a delegate to a free soil convention in Hartford where he formed the acquaintance of John M. Niles, former senator and postmaster general and one of the founders of the Hartford Times, whom he greatly admired. Hawley went wholeheartedly into the free-soil movement and reveled in his contacts with men of the stamp of Niles, John Hooker, and others. Hawley was also called upon early in the year to deliver a temperance lecture for which he was highly praised and received a note of thanks. John Hooker was so taken with the young man that he offered to break his existing partnership in the law and go to Hartford with Hawley and establish a new one. Hawley discusses all of this in the letter that he writes to Warner that of which is included in this publication.
