Newspaper editor and publisher (1823–1899) who was co-owner and managing editor of the Chicago Tribune. ALS signed “J. Medill,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.25, Chicago Tribune letterhead, July 22, 1864. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “I must decline accepting your kind invitation…I am not a public speaker. Long disuse has left me without the power of satisfactory extempore delivery…I think B[laine] & L[ogan] will be elected—C[leveland] & H[endricks] are no good. They are bad eggs, both of ’em. This country is not yet ready to place the cops and confeds in charge of the govt & Union which they so desperately strove to destroy.” In very good condition, with light scattered soiling, mounting remnants to left border of reverse, and a few pencil office notations.
