Washington, April 24, 1893.. [1]p. plus integral blank. Single horizontal fold. Fine. During his second term President Grover Cleveland writes to Howard Van Sinderen, thanking him for handling the sale of some of Cleveland's law books: "I received today the check you sent me for $125 20/100 being proceeds of the sale of law books on my a/c by Baker Voorhis & Co. Please accept my thanks for your trouble in the matter." Howard Van Sinderen was a New York lawyer, descended from old Dutch stock in New York. Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms as president in 1885-89 and 1893-97. He apparently found it easier than most to sell used law books. (Inventory #: WRCAM43507)
