Description

Fillmore requests a copy of Daniel Webster's eulogy

LS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, November 8, 1852. Letter to Reverend Clement M. Butler, in full: "The undersigned having listened with sincere pleasure to the very eloquent and interesting sermon pronounced by you on the last Sunday evening, in commemoration of the eminent public and private character of the late Daniel Webster, would deeply regret that such a tribute to the memory of the illustrious deceased should be known only to the comparatively small number of the American people who were so fortunate as to hear it, and therefore respectfully ask you to furnish us with a copy for publication." Signed at the conclusion by Fillmore, and countersigned by several members of Congress, including Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart, D. W. Middleton, A. H. Lawrence, I. M. Carlisle, Richard Coxe, John W. Maury, Francis Marker, J. C. McGuire, Fitzhugh Coyle, and J. B. North. In fine condition, with light stains, and short splits along folds.
