ALS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, June 5, 1822. Letter to Attorney General William Wirt, in part: "The papers which accompany this, involve the question of interest, on the…liquidation by Gov'r Preston, of the claims of the citizens of Georgia on the Creek Indians, founded on the late & preceding treaties with that nation. I wish you to examine that question, & to give your opinion on it, as soon as it may be convenient to you." In fine, clean condition, with seal-related paper loss to the integral address leaf. An uncommon example signed with his full name, "James," rather than a simple 'Ja's.'Format: ALS
