ALS, one page, 7.5 x 10, February 20, 1827. Letter to Mr. Gallatin in London. In full: “Mr. Holley, late President of the Transylvania University, being about to take a look at Europe, will pay his respects to you on his arrival in London. The claim giving to your civilities by the station he filled and the learned accomplishments which led to it, will be strengthened by his laudable desire to improve his fund of knowledge as a philosophical enquirer in other Countries, after having imparted the benefits of that fund to many youthful ones in his own. Allow me on this occasion to add another to the many assurances you have received of my great esteem & cordial regards.” Reverse bears an address panel in Madison’s hand to “Mr. Gallatin, Envoy Extraordinary & Minister Plenipotentiary of United States, London.” Double-matted and framed (so both sides may be viewed) with a color portrait of Madison to an overall size of 18 x 15.25. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered light toning and soiling, a brush to last few letters of signature, and an old ink notation along top edge. Holley had resigned from the university after tensions between him and the the school's conservative Presbyterian leadership reached a boiling point. A great example of Madison’s political influence, even after having left office 10 years earlier.
