ALS as president, one page, 7.25 x 8.25, April 22, 1829. Handwritten letter to Secretary of the Treasury Samuel D. Ingham, whom Jackson errantly titles as "Sec. of the Navy." In full: "For the security of the revenue, the following rule is suggested to be established in the customs. All bonds taken by collectors to be deposited in Bank, (U. States) when taken, as a credit to the United States, there to remain untill they become due, & if not paid, then delivered to the att'o for the District, for collection. If you approve let it be adopted. I would like to receive your views on this subject." Matted and framed with an engraving to an overall size of 18.25 x 15. In fine condition, with a small stain to the center. Written less than two months into his presidency, this is a decidedly early and boldly penned letter from Jackson, which bears content related to one of his most challenging endeavors as chief—the Second Bank of the United States.
