Distinguished statesman, US senator, secretary of state, speaker of the house, and three-time presidential candidate (1777–1852) who became known as the ‘Great Compromiser’ for his support of the Union prior to the Civil War. ALS, one page, 4.75 x 7.5, August 16, 1840. In part: “H. Clay…regrets that preparations which he is making for a journey to Nashville deprives him of the pleasure of attending his lecture this evening.” A tiny upper right corner crease, a mailing fold barely touching his last name, moderate overall toning, scattered soiling, and two tiny holes in the paper, otherwise fine condition.
