Early 1816 letter by Van Buren in support of his brothers' business

ALS signed “M. V. Buren,” one page, 8 x 10.25, July 19, 1816. Letter to New York merchant and politician Archibald McIntyre, in part: "My Brother Lawrence & Brother in Law are going into Mercantile business by the first of September & I have promised through your friendly aid to get them cash or $1000 out of the School fund. Will you be so good as to arrange it that they may be accommodated." Addressed on the reverse of the second integral sheet in Van Buren's hand. In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the top, several intersecting folds, and arithmetic penned in another hand. Written at 34 years old, this is one of the earliest letters by Van Buren we have offered.
