Pamphlet. Etat : Good. No publisher, place, or date. Perhaps circa 1864. Pamphlet. Lacking any wrappers that may have been issued. 16 pages. A work relying heavily on quoted scripture to discuss the will of God and people especially as it relates to politics and government. It appears this was a long-winded way for Mr. Halsted to assert that the New York City politicians associated with Tammany Hall were being victimized by the Albany Regency politicians who were apparently using their positions as politicians to gain personal wealth. Historical perspective suggests this letter now seems somewhat ironic. While not in Sabin, the bibliography indicates Halsted wrote, then published, letters to presidents Pierce and Lincoln. Good condition. Faint dampstain to the lower foredge margin. Alphanumeric pencil notation to the upper front page. Minor soiling and foxing.
