Offered here is a handwritten letter, one page both sides, measuring 6.75" x 8" and dated September 2, 1862. The letter, to his former secretary Adam J. Glossbrenner, reads in part: "Whilst Bailey is perhaps not much better than a Republican, I trust you will pursue such a course in the matter, as not to impair your high & well deserved standing with the party. I know you will not suffer your indignation against the scamps who have deceived you to induce you to act with imprudence. Above all, let there be no compromise on any candidate in York County, except yourself…I have every day more & more occasion to regret the loss of the document by Judge Black respecting which I have the written approval of Mr. Stanton. But I shall say no more to him on the subject. He is feeding on the rich pasture furnished him by the present Attorney General." In fine condition with minor handling wear. On vertical fold with toning along the crease. Buchanan's handwriting is impeccable! Authenticated & encapsulated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS), with the signature on the letter receiving a solid MINT 9 grade!
