ALS. 2pgs. 4 x 7. January 3, 1899. Princeton, NJ. An autograph letter signed Grover Cleveland. It is written on letterhead reading Westland, Princeton, New Jersey, the name and location of Clevelands residence after his second term as President. Cleveland thanks his friend, a Syracuse lawyer by the name of A. Nathaniel, for sending him a biography of Tammany Hall-affiliated politician Samuel S. Cox (1824-1889): My dear Mr. Nathaniel, Please accept my sincere thanks for a copy of the Life of Samuel S. Cox which you kindly sent me on Christmas. I have just laid it aside after an hour delightfully spent in glancing it through, and I anticipate added pleasure in its thorough perusal. I wish in these days we had more of Mr. Coxs committed attachment to his secretary. Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland. The letter is in fine condition.
