LS signed “A. Burr,” one page, 8 x 10, February 2, 1828. Letter to Captain Partridge. In part: “Owing to circumstances not worth relating, Charles went off without a line from me for which I hasten to apologize. He returned from his tour in N. Jersey about a week ago. I have detained him since that time in the hope and belief that a further more accurate & scientific survey would have been taken; that project having been deferred, I have hastened to return him to your care. Before leaving Middletown, he engaged that immediately on his return he would get double lessons, so as to overtake his classes within the same number of days he might be absent. I pray you to hold him to this engagement.” At the bottom, Burr adds a handwritten postscript which reads, “It is with much satisfaction that I am enable to add that the general deportment of Charles during his absence has been good as does credit to the Academy. A. B.” Reverse of second integral page bears an address panel in another hand, “Captain Partridge at his Academy, Middletown Con.” Intersecting folds, a couple small holes from wax seal, and some scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition.
