Founder and editor of the New York Tribune (1811-1872) who used the power of his newspaper to advocate for a variety of liberal causes, most importantly the call for emancipation of slaves during the Civil War. ALS, one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, November 18, 1835. Handwritten letter to a gentleman, in full: "I shall not be able to lecture this week on the Paris Exhibition. I find that I cannot make time to prepare myself even tolerably for such a lecture. I will give you any lecture I have—my new one on 'Europe' which I am to give at Hope Chapel on Wednesday evening; (but you would hardly want this so soon afterwards); my old one on 'Henry Clay'; or one I have on 'Reforms and Reformers'; but perhaps I gave this to your Society. I would prefer not to lecture this week but if you cannot do without me you must let me do something I can do rather than that I cannot." In fine condition.
