Franklin Pierce (1804-1869). [Letter] 1835 March 30 [to] Epes Sargent, Boston, Mass.

Pierce offers his “best wishes and sincere regard” to Sargent and trusts that he will let Pierce know upon reaching town if there is anything Pierce can do to further his purposes. The fourteenth President of the United States, Pierce served his term (1853-1857) amid the growing sectional dissension that would erupt into Civil War. Before his election, Pierce also served as a Representative and as a Senator for his home state of New Hampshire, and also fought in the Mexican War.
