Letters To Andrew Jackson From Rachel Jackson Feby 8th 1813 My dear Husband. Your letter of the 18th January from the mouth of the Cumberland river came safe to hand, it was Everything to me. Do not My beloved Husband let the love of Country fame and honour make you forgit you have me… How many pangs how many sighs has your absence cost Me. My time passes heavily… Farewell. Think on me your Dearest friend on Earth. Rachel Jackson
Regarding the campaign mudslinging… “Mrs. Jackson once found her husband in tears pointing to a paragraph reflecting on his mother and said, ‘Myself I can defend; you I can defend; but now they have assailed even the memory of my mother.’”
Jackson at the funeral… “Friends and neighbors, I thank you for the Honor you have done to the sainted one whose remains now repose in yonder grave. She is now in the bliss of heaven, and I know that she can suffer here no more on earth. But I am left here without her to encounter the trails of life alone. I am now President of the United States and in a short time must take my way to the metropolis of my country; And, if it had been God’s will, I would have been grateful for the privilege of taking her to my post of honor and seating her by my side; but Providence knew what was best for her. For myself, I bow to God’s will, and go alone to the place of new and arduous duties…I can forgive all who wronged me, but will have fervently to pray that I may have grace to enable me to forget or forgive my enemy who has ever maligned that blessed one who is now safe from all suffering and sorrow, whom they tried to put to shame for my sake!”
Refusing to Visit Adams… “…any man who would permit a public journal, under his control, to assault the reputation of a respectable female, much less the wife of his rival and competitor for first office in the world was not entitled to the respect of any honorable man.”
