Description
James Buchanan Autograph Letter Signed. Two pages, 7.75" x 9.87", Wheatland, April 10, 1850, to New Hampshire representative Edmund Burke concerning Democratic Party politics. He writes, in part: "...Might I say confidentially to any of them, that such is the condition of the Union that you will be obliged to withdraw from it on the first of June unless it can obtain some Congressional patronage? This I would consider a serious calamity for the party; unless they, Dem. Members, will support the Democratic organ at Washington, they do not deserve to be supported themselves..." Usual folds, else very fine condition. Ex. Henry E. Luhrs Collection.Auction Info
