Broadside, 25” x 20,”with large typeface headline, “GEN. TAYLOR'S LETTERS!! FOR REFERENCE,” former folds, occasional margin spotting, VG. This campaign piece presents 24 Taylor letters, by Taylor, mostly from his Mexican War headquarters near Monterey, Mexico, chosen to highlight his wisdom and non- partisanship as he campaigned for President of the United States. Correspondents include Henry Clay, Massachusetts Governor Levi Lincoln, Kentucky Governor William Owsley, and others. One example serves well to illustrate the content of the whole: ".I have to say, that I am not a party candidate, and if elected shall not be the president of a party, but the president of the whole people."
