Hughes (John), Archbishop of New York

Autograph letter signed ('John Hughes, B.N.Y') to the Honorable Louis McLane, reading "It has occurred to me that perhaps it might be among the prerogatives of your distinguished position to obtain a place at the opening of the Parliament tomorrow, for any stranger you might recommend. In that case, and provided it should not be attended with too much inconvenience to you, such a kindness for myself and Rev. W Harley would confer a great favour", one page, integral blank, light folding marks, 8vo, Park Hotel, 21 January 1846.
