Buchanan, James, 1791-1868
Autograph letter signed
Title: to William Sipes re: regrets that Sipes has written his biography
Buchanan also politely declines to read Sipes' manuscript. He claims that the materials for a biography would have to come from himself in order to be accurate. Also, "an eminent literary friend offered to write my Biography & I gratefully accepted the offer, in case I should deem this necessary."
