ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, New York Tribune letterhead, February 3, 1872. Letter to William Heard. In part: “I really concur with you as to the obscenity and mischief of such discrimination as you point out; but why under the sun should we send cotton to England, there to be made into ‘grey yarn’ and returned to us under a 60 percent duty.” In very good condition, with a couple light creases, scattered soiling, and slight separations to malling folds, repaired with tape to the reverse. RR Auction COA.
