In part: “I would long since have complied with your request by giving you a letter to the President-elect…my great respect for your deceased Father & the very favorable accounts I receive from the most reliable quarters in regard to your own merits, personal & political, have however induced me to give you this proof of my own confidence in the strength of your claims upon most of the Government.” Reverse of second integral page bears a hand-addressed free franked address panel, addressed by Van Buren to Hudson, and franked at the top of the panel, “Free M. Van Buren.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a couple lightly passing through signature, some scattered light soiling and toning, a couple brushes to signature, and small area of paper loss to second page from red wax seal.
