American statesman (1801–1872) who served as secretary of state in the Lincoln administration. ALS, one page, lightly-lined both sides, 5 x 8, January 8, 1858. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “I love to receive letters from home, although so sorely pressed for time that I am unable to write oftener than once a week to my own wife, or even to write to my children…We are in a condition of nervous excitement here just now about Kansas. I do not see through it, any further than this: I do see that the Democratic party seems impelled to ruin itself.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds.
