He is the grand nephew of General Muhlenberg of the Revolutionary army & is desirous of obtaining information concerning his military career..." [ With :] BUCHANAN. Autograph letter signed ("James Buchanan"), as President, to Royal Phelps (1809-1884), Washington, 16 October 1860. 1 page, 4to . "I have often thought of giving my nephew James B. Henry, Esquire of New York a special letter of introduction to you & requesting for him your kindness & regard. He was for more than two years my private secretary & performed the duties of the office to my satisfaction & I believe to that of every individual with whom he had personal intercourse. He desired, however, to practice his profession in New York where he has already succeeded better than I had anticipated. He is honorable, honest, industrious, faithful & true, & my sole object in sending him this letter is to make him better acquainted with a friend whom I so highly esteem as yourself."
