ALS signed “E. Gerry,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, March 29, 1814. Letter to an unknown recipient, written as Vice President. In full: “I omitted to mention, my dear Sir, the receipt of yours of the 6th instant. Mr. Mason has entered on the duties of his office. The Senate have made great progress in business today, & seem anxious to rise on the 11th of April. Your conduct in regard to Colo[nel] B has been honorable & friendly. He is now on his journey home. He knows nothing, neither do I, of the sources of the rumour respecting him. I have not mentioned them, having no authority to do it; lest he may urge acknowledge of facts which the Persons to whom he may apply could not give with propriety. This city was said to be dull when I arrived; It has been gay eno’ for any one since that period. I desired Mr. Keppele[,] Colo[nel] Austin Aldermen of Philadelphia to send Mr. Prentiss Depositions to you under my hand. Yours in great haste.” Letter is inlaid to a slightly larger off-white sheet. Intersecting folds, a uniform shade of mild toning, and signature a bit cramped, otherwise fine condition.
