ALS signed “M. Van Buren,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 6.5 x 7.5, January 25, 1834. Letter to lawyer C. Ellis. In part: “I have received a letter from Copeland & Lovering acknowledging the receipt of Robinson’s note but adding ‘We do not perceive any addition for damages which certainly should have been charged for it cost us one ptct to pay…in New York & it will cost at the rate of 1/2 ptct et at least now to get the note discounted.’ They wish me to see Robinson…on the subject. It strikes me that as they (C & L) agreed to take the note they can expect no more than the rate of discount at the time of the agreement.” Reverse of second page bears an address label in Van Buren’s hand. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one touching the last stroke of signature, paper loss along hinge from wax seal, and light show-through from writing on reverse. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
