ALS signed “H. Clay,” one page, 7.75 x 10, October 26, 1826. Letter to Dr. Lyons. In part: “I have communicated to the President the wish expressed in your letter… to repossess yourself of a letter addressed in 1786 by Mr. Jefferson to Mr. Adams deceased, in your behalf. He has no recollection of seeing such a letter, but says that he has not yet been able to examine and arrange the immense mass of his father’s papers, which are put in trunks and carefully deposited in Boston.” Intersecting folds, with several repairs on reverse as well as some scattered paper loss, and several areas of moderate toning, not affecting legibility, otherwise very good condition.
