ALS signed “H. Clay,” one page, 8 x 10, February 13, 1812. Letter to "Mess. Scott Trotter & Co., Merchants, Philadelphia," in part: "Will you do me the favor to collect the amount of the inclosed bill & remit it to me…Prudence recommends that you should make your arrangements for War—an event which I still think may be counted upon with perhaps greater certainty than at the commencement of the Session. Congress will unquestionably in proper time vote the requisite taxes." Addressed on the reverse of the second integral page in Clay's hand, and franked in the upper right, "Free, H. Clay." In fine condition, with some paper loss to the integral address leaf.
