ALS, one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, March 15, 1836. Letter to William J. Whitthorne. In part: “I should have been much pleased to see you in Washington and must insist upon you to come this way on your return. I wish very much to see you that I may learn the real state of politics at home and have many things to say that might interest you. As to our friend Mayfield, I have received several letters in his behalf and also a petition recommending him, all of which I have laid before the Post Office Dept., accompanied by a letter of my own. An appointment will [not] be made until the new county is organized. At that time, I have but little doubt, he will be appointed.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and a few spots of light toning, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
