ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, January 22, 1876. Letter, marked “Private,” to an unnamed recipient, but almost certainly James G. Blaine. In full: “Within I send to you as Chmn. of the Com. a letter which expresses my feeling in regard to the proposition to exclude me from amnesty. You are [at] liberty to publish my letter if you think it well to do so, or to consider it private if your judgement shall so decide.” In very good condition, with tape remnants to two edges, a bit of light toning, and some moderate feathering to portions of text and signature. In 1873, House Speaker James G. Blaine reported a General Amnesty bill which did not exclude Jefferson Davis; it was passed by the House. On January 10, 1876, Blaine announced he wished to debate reconsideration and proposed to exclude Jefferson Davis from amnesty.
