Description

James Buchanan

ALS, one page, 8 x 9.75, March 2, 1838. Letter to Senator John Pendleton King of Georgia. In part: “I take great pleasure in introducing to you my friend Alexander M. Petty Esquire of the Senate of Pennsylvania. He is in every respect worthy of your highest regard. The people of the State will very much regret the necessity which compels, such a man, at such a time, to abandon his seat in the Senate, to seek for health in the genial clime of the South. You cannot confer a greater favor upon me than by meeting him with kindness & attention.” Addressed on the reverse of the second integral leaf in Buchanan’s hand. In fine condition, with several intersecting mailing folds. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
