ATTEMPTING TO SETTLE AN ESTATE AND COMMENTING ON HIS RECENT GOVERNMENT WORK, in an autograph letter, signed by Poinsett in Charleston, May 1, 1841, to Robert Gilmor in Baltimore, in part: "I find that I have in my hands about three thousand dollars belonging to the estate of Col. Bacon which I am ready and anxious to divide among the heirs [details follow] . We reached home safely and in the midst of my old associates the past four years seem like a troubled dream [Poinsett had just finished serving as Martin Van Buren's Secretary of War]."

POINSETT, Joel R. (1779-1851; served from South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1821-1825, U.S. Minister to Mexico, 1825-1829 [importing what is now known as the poinsettia], and U.S. Secretary of War, 1837-1841)
