ALS signed “H. Clay,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.5, April 25, 1829. Letter regarding a legal matter, in part: “John Fowler, one of the parties concerned, resides in Lexington, near me, is an old man of near 80 years of age, and insolvent. I directed an enquiry to be made of him about the land. He says ‘he will examine his papers on this subject.’ He recollects nothing but ‘that old Phelps was satisfied.’ The probability is that he will never make the promised examination if he retains any papers about it.” In fine condition, with an old mounting strip along the left edge, and writing lightly showing through from opposing sides. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
