Letter from Henry Clay to T. I. Wharton, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Washington, D.C. 1 January 1827

Description

Transmits copies of his speeches for a proposed book of his speeches, which Clay estimates will make an octavo of 300 to 400 pages. Believes Mr. Smith is reliable to do the book and thanks Wharton for his offer to superintend the publication. Wharton's recommendation for a director of the Bank of the U. S. arrived too late.
