TYLER, John. ALS ("John Tyler") former President, to his son Robert Tyler, Richmond, Va., 19 March 1849. 1 page, 4o, with integral address leaf franked ("J. Tyler") and addressed in his hand. Minor water stains. TYLER, THE FATHER OF 15 CHILDREN WRITES, "...I have to struggle to sustain myself and now I fear I am to be saddled with upwards of $1500 for your Uncle who is entirely prostrate. You can well imagine how extremely scarce money is with me. Hardly enough is left for me to clothe and support my family. Yet I shall work through, but it will require every effort. ...you have made a noble struggle and my head and heart are with you."
