ALS signed “U. S. Grant,” written on the blank integral leaf of a letter to Grant signed “Lewis Buckner,” one page, 4.75 x 8, December 8, 1881. Grant writes to an unnamed judge. In full: “I send you this letter & enclosure confidentially. I know the character of the letter written by the two women Snead—mother & daughter—but I did not know that they were receiving pay from the Government in addition to what they make as correspondents. I venture to say they return but little service to the government for what they receive.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (several vertical folds, one touching first letter of Grant’s signature), one small edge separation to first page as well as a small separation along hinge, and scattered light soiling and wrinkling.
