ALS as president, one page, lightly-lined, 7.75 x 9.75, October 16, 1860. Letter to Royal Phelps. In full: “I have often thought of giving my nephew James B. Henry Esquire of New York a special letter of introduction to you & requesting for him your kindness & regard. He was for more than two years my private Secretary & performed the duties of the office to my satisfaction & I believe to that of every individual with whom he had personal intercourse. He deserved, however, to practice his profession in New York where he has already succeeded better than I had anticipated. He is honorable, honest, industrious, faithful & true, & my sole object in sending him this letter is to make him better acquainted with a friend whom I so highly esteem as yourself.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and a slight brush to one word of text. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
