- Robert Perkins Letcher (February 10, 1788 – January 24, 1861) was a politician and lawyer from the US state of Kentucky. He served as a U.S. Representative, Minister to Mexico, and the 15th Governor of Kentucky. He also served in the Kentucky General Assembly where he was Speaker of the House in 1837 and 1838. A strong supporter of the Whig Party, he was a friend of Henry Clay and John J. Crittenden. Letcher's family came to Kentucky around 1800. Letcher attended the private academy of Joshua Fry, then studied law. He was briefly a judge advocate in John Allen's volunteer militia during the War of 1812. He began his political career in 1813, representing Garrard County in the Kentucky House of Representatives. In 1823, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served for more than a decade. During the 1824 presidential election, he acted as an intermediary between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. Adams' opponent, Andrew Jackson, charged that, through these negotiations, Clay agreed to support Adams for president in exchange for being named Secretary of State. In 1840, Letcher was chosen as the Whig nominee for governor of Kentucky over William Owsley. In the general election, Letcher won by landslide over Judge Richard French. Letcher's fiscally conservative policies helped Kentucky recover from the financial Panic of 1837. By the end of his term, the state was experiencing budget surpluses and state banks had resumed specie payments. After Letcher left office, he was appointed Minister to Mexico by President Zachary Taylor. Following this, he made an attempt to return to the U.S. House, but was defeated by Democrat John C. Breckinridge. Letcher's defeat in Henry Clay's home district was a strong indication of the decline of Whig influence in Kentucky. Though he remained active in politics, Letcher never again sought public office. He died on January 24, 1861. (en)
- ロバート・パーキンス・レッチャー(英: Robert Perkins Letcher、1788年2月10日 - 1861年1月24日)は、19世紀アメリカ合衆国の政治家、弁護士であり、第15代ケンタッキー州知事および同州選出アメリカ合衆国下院議員を務めた。ザカリー・テイラー大統領のときに駐メキシコ公使を務めた。ケンタッキー州では下院議員を務めており、1837年と1838年には下院議長を務めた。ホイッグ党の強い支持者であり、ヘンリー・クレイやジョン・クリッテンデンとは親友だった。 レッチャー家は1800年頃にケンタッキー州に入植した。ロバートはジョシュア・フライの私立アカデミーで学んだ後に法律を学んだ。米英戦争のときはジョン・アレンの志願民兵隊で、短期間だが法務官だった。1813年にゲアリド郡を代表してケンタッキー州議会下院議員になったのが政歴の始まりだった。1823年、アメリカ合衆国下院議員に選ばれ、10年間以上を務めた。1824年アメリカ合衆国大統領選挙では、ジョン・クインシー・アダムズとヘンリー・クレイの仲介役を務めた。アダムズの対抗馬アンドリュー・ジャクソンが選挙をリードしていたが、レッチャーの交渉により、クレイがアメリカ合衆国国務長官に指名されることと引き換えにアダムズを支持することで合意した。 1840年、レッチャーはケンタッキー州知事選挙でウィリアム・オウスリーを抑えてホイッグ党公認候補となった。選挙では民主党のリチャード・フレンチに対して大勝で当選した。レッチャーの財政的に保守的な政策によって、ケンタッキー州は1837年恐慌の財政危機から立ち直ることができた。知事の任期が終わるまでにケンタッキー州は歳入超過となり、州認定銀行は正金の支払いを再開した。知事退任後、ザカリー・テイラー大統領から駐メキシコ公使に指名された。その後、アメリカ合衆国下院議員に復帰しようとしたが、民主党のジョン・ブレッキンリッジのために敗れた。ヘンリー・クレイの出身選挙区でレッチャーが敗北したことは、ケンタッキー州におけるホイッグ党の力が衰えていることを示していた。レッチャーは政界で活動を続けたが、公職を求めることはなかった。レッチャーは1861年1月24日に死んだ。 (ja)
