Letter from James Buchanan to Edward McPherson
Number of Pages:
4
Date:
May 31, 1852
James Buchanan writes to journalist and lawyer Edward McPherson regarding a list of members of the Lancaster County Bar that McPherson had compiled. Buchanan points out that the list mistakenly dates his admission to the Bar to 1809, when he was still a student at Dickinson College. "According to my recollection," as Buchanan notes, "I was admitted in November 1812; but the record will show." Transcript included.
