JEFFERSON DAVIS ALS, 2pp, Dec 2, 1872, 8vo, Memphis, to J.H. Bowmar, nice content re his brother's business affairs. Reads in part, "...your's...received with the letter of Mr Jacobson enclosed. I know little of the case he presents and that little predisposed me against the justice of the claim. At the date given 1823 my Brother because of ill health and the purpose to engage in planting was winding up his business as a Lawyer, and soon...the partnership of Reed & Davis was dissolved. The business of the firm was subsequently conducted by Reed & Grayson...but as I was then a school boy, you will understand my knowledge of such affairs was quite imperfect. The books of Reed & Grayson if they could be found would perhaps show the true character of the case...If the claim is a just one I have no hesitation as to paying it, but that must be shown before I can believe it to be so..." Mr Bowmar writes at bottom, "Mr Jacobson will please read the enclosed letter..." Nicely inlaid. Light soiling, o/w VG. $1,500-2,500
