The Oregon Notice and the Death of Joseph Hall Jr

In New York on February 14 1846 reports detail the suicide of Joseph Hall Jr amid financial worry.

The letter-writer notes the Oregon notice, the Clayton debate in the Senate, and references to Madame Costello and other figures as public opinion shifts on women midwives.
