Title
Letter from Henry Clay to Capt. John Perin, Hanover County, Virginia. Ashland, Lexington, Kentucky. 12 September 1848
Description
Clay thanks his friends in Hanover for their thoughts, but he cannot accept the nomination of those meeting at the Slash Church for the presidency. "I deplore the condition of the Country, and not the less because it has been produced not only without any agency of mine, but against my solemn warnings and publicly expressed convictions."
