Two-page letter from Winston Seaton Williams to J.C. and Henry Willard dated Thursday [1850]

Single sheet folded. Small tear and residue on last back page from being removed from an album. Seaton writes that he will be unable to attend the reopening of the Willard House due to his health. Williams was the editor and publisher of the National Intelligencer. The Willard Brothers were opening the recently remodeled Willard House. The Willard House was a watering hole for the powerful.
