FILLMORE, MILLARD, President . Autograph letter signed ("Fillmore") as U.S. Representative, to Solomon G. Haven, Washington, D.C., 30 January 1841. 1 1/2 pages, 4to, 250 x 200mm. (10 x 8 in.) . Fine. Fillmore writes to one of his law partners: "...I do not think that you and I differ much about the merit of Canadian patriotism . I know not why Doct. Stagg published my letter to him; but no matter. It was written in too much haste for the public eye. And perhaps for that reason he published it out of spite . The Jud[g]eship is settled, and though I was at first vexed that [Judge of the Court of Common Pleas Nathan Kelsey] Hall should be induced to be a candidate, and then passed over, yet from an explanation which I received from friend Moseley I am inclined to think it was managed in the most judicious manner considering the difficulties they had to encounter, and we should all rejoice in the result...[South Carolina Senator John C.] Calhoun and [North Carolina Senator Willie Person] Mangum had some sharp words in the Senate today..." Hall was a former law student of Fillmore's; the two later became law partners prior to Fillmore's appointing Hall Postmaster General.
