Influential American statesman and jurist (1755–1835) who served as the fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Among the notable cases over which Marshall presided were the judicial review landmark Marbury v. Madison in 1803, and the 1807 trial of Aaron Burr for treason. LS signed “J. Marshall,” one page, 8 x 10, January 16, 1801. Letter to Israel Wheeler of Philadelphia. In full: “I am anxious to know what progress Col. Stevens has made in procuring a vessel to carry the third cargo to Tunis. Will you be pleased to communicate to me any information you may have on this subject?” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (slight edge separations to lower horizontal fold; one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), overall toning from previous display, and a circular stain to blank area in upper right. Accompanied by an unsigned engraved portrait. Marshall, who was secretary of state at the time of writing, assumed office as chief justice less than three weeks later, on February 4.
