ALS, one page both sides, 6 x 9.5, December 24, 1888. Letter to the Hon. John S. Wise in New York, in part: "Not advised of the feeling opposed to General Mahom in his own state I wrote some weeks ago a letter to the President-elect in favor of Mahom as adviser near the President. The feeling developed recently against such action induces me to write you to inquire of the probability of finding some one, upon whom both wings of the party could agree. My letter to General Harrison fully commits me to Mahom. Yet it may be possible that a compromise may be fairly met upon a third party. May I ask you, after due reflection, if you can suggest one upon whom all can meet…After the first week in January I expect to be in Washington till inauguration." In very good to fine condition, with light toning and moderate creasing, and a small tear to the top edge.
