ALS signed “H. Clay,” one page, 8 x 10, August 8, 1827. Interesting letter touching upon family and politics. In part: “I returned to this City a week ago, and was very much delighted to meet our little grand son. He reminds us very much of both his father and mother, and especially the latter. He now speaks English very well, and seems to have an aversion to speaking French. He appears to be possessed of a fine construction, an excellent frame, and an active and enterprizing spirit. I persuade myself that I already discern in him marks of extraordinary genius…The Newspapers will give you the news of a public character. You will perceive from them that Genl. Jackson has at last taken the field against me…I anticipate a signal and an easy victory.” In very good condition, with an old tape remnant and small hole to lower blank area, and light show-through from a child’s small painting on the reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
