  • An autograph letter in English and 2 autograph notes signed ("Lafayette") in French
Autograph letter, 3 pages, in English. La Grange, 12 January 1828, to Morgan Neville of Cincinnati, fondly reminiscing about his 1825 tour of Ohio: "my thoughts and my affections are very constantly wandering on the side of the Atlantic which it is my misfortune not to inhabit, and that the impression made upon me by my happy, tho too short and limited visit to the state of Ohio, to Cincinnati, to my particular friends, is as fresh in my heart as at the very hour when we parted on board the steam boat." Among others, Lafayette asks to be remembered to General William Henry Harrison. — Autograph note signed, 1 page, [La Grange], 4 April 1832, to General Guglielmo Pepe, being a letter of introduction, autograph address panel pasted to the verso. — Autograph note signed, 1 page, La Grange, 25 October 1833, to a Mr. Bianchi, enclosing correspondence from Colonel Ferrari and exchanging pleasantries. Together, 3 items, totaling 5 pages, various sizes; the letter to Neville browned, with a fold separation, and inlaid to an album leaf with the lower third of the final leaf (including the signature) excised.
