Scottish engineer and road builder (1756–1836). Rare ALS signed “Jn Loudon McAdam,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6.25, December 30, 1819. Letter to Davis Gilbert. In part: “I learned yesterday at the Treasury that the reference of my memorial to the Post Office had been answered in a most satisfactory manner and that it was to be taken into immediate consideration. I have however requested that the consideration might be delayed for a week to give me an opportunity of presenting a recommendation which has been signed by a number of the first people in the houses of Parliament and which will still receive several valuable signatures.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, uniform mild toning, and light show-through from docketing on reverse of second page.
