The chief justice to George Washington's nephew

ALS signed “J. Marshall,” one page, 7.25 x 9, April 17, 1807. Letter to Lawrence Lewis, a nephew of George Washington, making reference to fellow Supreme Court justice Bushrod Washington (also a nephew of George Washington, and the recipient of the president's papers), in full: "At the request of Judge Washington I transmit you the enclosed letters. I have searched for the letter of Mr. S. Washington to which that of the 2d of April is an answer by have been unable to find it." Addressed on the integral leaf in Marshall's hand. In fine condition. A fascinating association piece connecting Marshall to the Washington family.
