My Dearest Polly is a collection of letters written by Chief Justice John Marshall to his wife, Mary Polly Ambler Marshall, over a period of more than fifty years. The letters provide a glimpse into the personal and political life of one of America's most influential founding fathers. The book is edited and introduced by Frances Norton Mason, who provides background information on the Marshalls' marriage, their family life, and the political and social context of the time. The letters cover a wide range of topics, from domestic matters to Marshall's work as a lawyer and judge, his involvement in politics, and his thoughts on the state of the nation. They also reveal the deep love and affection that John and Polly had for each other, despite the challenges they faced as a couple. Overall, My Dearest Polly is a fascinating and intimate portrait of a remarkable man and his devoted wife, as well as a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early years of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
