ALS signed “H. Clay,” one page both sides, 8 x 10, June 8, 1844. Letter to several gentlemen. In part; “I rejoice to hear of the enthusiastic manifestation which you describe as having taken place in Fayette County on the 31st ultimo. I sincerely hope that it affords an assurance that your county has abandoned the cause of our opponents and will hereafter attach itself to that of the Whigs. It has always been a cause of regret and mortification with me that the counties of Fayette and Washington…which derived so much advantage from my exertions in establishing the National road, should have been unfriendly to me. I hope now, towards the closing of my life, that we shall hence forward be, as we always ought to have been, good friends.” Diagonal fragile tear to top right corner, partial separation along one of the intersecting folds, scattered toning, and reinforcement along another horizontal fold, otherwise very good condition.
