American statesman (1762–1816) who served as Washington’s personal secretary and later assumed posts in the Jefferson and Madison administrations. LS, one page, 7.75 x 10, August 28, 1815. Lear writes from the Department of War to Ensign Robert Brent. In part: “On settlement of the Acct. of Captn. John A. Thomas of the 25th Inf he has been credited with expences incurred in pursuing & apprehending the following deserters.” The letter then lists six names of deserters. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, uniform toning, a bit of light soiling, and show-through from docketing on reverse.
