Item Information

Title:
Letter from Joseph Tinker Buckingham, to Francis Jackson, June 1, 1847
Description:
Joseph Tinker Buckingham informs Francis Jackson that it would please him to oblige Jackson by "inserting [Jackson's] communication", but states his regrets that he cannot afford the cost of it, which he estimates to be "two or three hundred dollars", a sum which is "much beyond" what he is able to lose. Buckingham adds that this amount does not include his estimates of whatever sum a jury might award following an expected libel suit should he move forward with Jackson's proposal. Buckingham explains to Jackson that his position does not "permit me to publish all that I think right".
