Letter from James Buchanan to James Henry

James Buchanan (Class of 1809) writes to his nephew, James Buchanan Henry, and congratulates him for good grades in mathematics as well as offers advice for an upcoming exam. Buchanan also mentions his niece Harriet Lane, who is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but expected to return in the coming weeks: "it was difficult to persuade her to go there," he writes, but "it is now equally difficult to persuade her to return."
