Title

Letter from Henry Clay to General Henry A. Dearborn, Roxbury, Massachusetts. Ashland, Lexington, Ky., 15 September 1831

Description

Thanks Dearborn for his remarks urging Clay to return to the U.S. Senate. Believes he may return to that body. The defeat of Jackson will be easy with the cooperation of all his opponents. Clay is willing to support any candidate selected by his party for the Presidency, if the party decides against Clay.
