ALS signed “Thomas Green Davidson,” four pages, 7.75 x 9.75, February 25, 1832. Letter to F. P. Blair editor of The Globe in Washington, regarding the potential appointment of Martin Van Buren as U. S. Minister to England. In part: “I have seen with deep mortification and surprise the late proceedings of the Senate and the rejection of Van Buren. I tell you…by the rejection of that great man Van Buren because he happens to be in the way of Calhoun…I burn with desire to defend the old Hero either as Anthony before the Romans did Caesar by eloquence or in any manner that would have suited the taste of these delinquent knights of honor…Mr. Miller puts his opposition & that of all the party on its proper grounds. He says he does not oppose him on principle…but because he believes Van Buren to be between Mr. Calhooun’s friends…or rather Van Buren stands in the way of Calhoun before the Democratic party.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning, show-through from writing on opposite sides, and paper loss from wax seal.
