ALS as a Kentucky senator, signed “H. Clay,” one page, 8 x 10, January 11, 1842. A handwritten letter addressed from the Senate Chamber, in full: “I take great pleasure in complying with your request for my autograph, prompted as it has been by another friend, who has honored me with his attachment and confidence. If I have any title to his esteem, it is because I have brought into public life those sentiments of honor and probity, by which in private life I have endeavored to guide my conduct. My greatest ambition has been, and yet is to live and to die an honest man.” In very good to fine condition, with light creasing, short edge tears, and seal-related paper loss to the integral address leaf.
