LS signed “M. Van Buren,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, April 7, 1830. Secretary of State Van Buren sends a letter to Nicholas Biddle about a correction to a commission. In part, “The residence of Mr. Danl. M. Durell, who has lately been appointed a Director of the Bank of the United States, is at Dover, in New Hampshire, and that the designation in the commission…stating him to be of ‘New York’ instead of ‘New Hampshire,’ was a mistake in the filling up of that commission from inadvertence on the part of the Clerk who prepared it. As the error has been corrected upon our record, you will have the goodness to cause it likewise to be corrected.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
