ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 7.75, October 20, 1859. Written from Buffalo, a letter to diplomat and Union Army General Robert C. Schenck, requesting his help in regard to his "conditional purchase of some bonds issued by the Dayton and Michigan R.R. Co.," in part: "As this purchase is made solely for a permanent instrument, and I have the privilege of revoking the sale if not satisfied, I am anxious to know whether the above representation is in all respects true: and if it be then whether the company had actually required the title to the earlier track of the road before it was given, and whether the road is in the hands of good and responsible men with fair auspices for business." In fine condition.
