ALS as president, one page, 7.75 x 12.5, February 9, 1830. Letter to Secretary of the Treasury Samuel D. Ingham, in full: "The inclosed was handed me by Dr. Thomas express from the Gov'r & council, and Legislature of Maryland—can such an appeal be resisted—or I ought to have said, can we pass it over without action. It is called for to aid the Republican party, our friends, & ought I not to yield to it. I wish your opinion. I do not mean to send it in before the Senate unmasks its course yet." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and an old tape repair on the reverse of a tear to the right edge.Format: ALS
