WILLIAM M. MEREDITH (1799-1873) American lawyer and politician who served as Secretary of the Treasury. Autograph Letter Signed, ""W.M. Meredith."" One page, 4 1/2"" x 7"". No place. March 18, 1852 [?]. Meredith writes to JOHN EDGAR THOMSON (1808-1874) American civil engineer, railroad executive and industrialist, in part: ""Mr. Solomon Meredith who will have the pleasure of handing you this, is a gentleman of character, & at present U.S. Marshal for Indiana. He is interested in the Indiana Central R Road .. which he thinks will be an important feeder to the Penn R. Rd. ..."" A fine association of two leading Pennsylvanians with a nice reference to the Pennsylvania Railroad, of which Thomson served as president. Very fine.
