ROBERT A. TOOMBS
A short letter from the politician confirming his receiving of a
previous letter
Autograph letter signed: "R. Toombs", ¼ page, 8x10.
Washington, Georgia, 1853 September 24. To David B. Raulett, Charleston,
Mass. In full: "Your letter of the 17th inst. has been duly received.
I am very respectfully Your obt Servt". One of the greatest orators of
his time, Robert A. Toombs (1810-1885) represented Georgia in the House
(1845-1853) and the Senate (1853-1861). Originally a Whig, Toombs took
generally moderate and conciliatory approaches during the mounting sectional
strife of the 1850s, but he strongly supported secession after Lincoln's
election. Toombs served as the Confederacy's first Secretary of State for
only a few months in 1861. Then he served simultaneously in the Confederate
Congress and as a military commander, serving during the Seven Days' battles
and on through to the Battle of Antietam, where he was wounded. Having
aspired to the Confederate Presidency himself, Toombs was a constant critic
of Jefferson Davis. He returned to the US in 1867 after two years in exile.
Refusing to request a pardon, Toombs never regained his US citizen, but he did
rebuild a lucrative legal practice. Lightly creased with folds, not at
signature. Fine condition.
