Description

A chief justice joins Dartmouth for its 100th anniversary

LS signed “S. P. chase,” one lightly-lined page, both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, June 10, 1869. Writing from Raleigh, North Carolina as chief justice holding circuit court, Chase contacts General William H. Duncan concerning attending a celebration at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. In part: “President Smith has probably received my letter, promising to be at Hanover during the Centennial.” Intersecting folds, tear along the left side, and scattering soiling, otherwise fine condition. Interesting association between the high court and the New England university. RRAuction COA.
