Grove, a native of Fayette ville, represented his district in Congress from 1791 to 1803. His friend and correspondent, James Hogg, a merchant, formerly resided in Fayetteville also, doing business in that town and in Wilmington. At the date of this correspondence he lived in Hills boro. The letters cover the decade 1792-1802. Since they are few in number and scattered irregularly through the period they should be used only in connection with the Grove Letters (also to James Hogg) which have been edited and published by Dr. K. P. Battle in the Sprunt Monograph No. 3, 1902. These cover the same period and are complementary to those herewith presented. It is believed that the two series together make up the complete list of Grove's letters to Hogg while a member of Congress, The whole collection should prove valuable, historically, in that they portray the feelings and actions of a Southern Federalist at a time of high party tension in our national councils; this aside from their value as giving a more or less intimate view of the problems confronting the federal government, its hopes and fears, during the infancy of the Republic. For an extended sketch of both Grove and Hogg see the James Sprunt Historical Monograph N o. 3, 1902. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
