[ Autographs ] HORACE GREELEY (1811 - 1872) American journalist and founder of the New York Tribune which advocated abolition, and universal amnesty and suffrage. Greeley also posted bail for Jefferson Davis. A.N.S. on the verso of a letter of merchant John Stafford, 1p.4to., New York, May 19, 1869 in which Stafford recommends a friend whohas served: "...as an opponent of bogus Democracy..." On the verso Greeley addresses his note to "Gen. Jones", noting: "...The within letter is from a very good man...wish you would enable me to say so.." Very good.
