This collection contains letters written between Bushrod Washington, Joseph Story, John Marshall, and other justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Bushrod served as a justice from 1798 until 1829. The justices frequently sought out each other’s opinions on matters of legal application and interpretation, especially for controversial cases such as McCulloch vs. Maryland. These letters show how influential each member of the Marshall Court proved in shaping the early-American judiciary.
