Autograph; Roebling, John A: "The Bridge Builder" Designer of the Brooklyn Bridge (finished by his son), along with numerous other bridges, signed and written in 1849, the same year he was building the Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct (the Roebling Bridge). This is the oldest existing wire suspension bridge in the United States. The bridge runs 535 feet (163 meters) over the Delaware River, from Minisink Ford, New York, to Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania. Opened in 1849 as an aqueduct connecting two parts of the Delaware & Hudson Canal. The letter written to Mr. Lot Clark a NY State politician and former District attorney of Chenango County in Lock Port NY, bears a manuscript "10 Saxebberg P Feb 24" and references some specifications and a price of $3000 and poor workmanship on the prior construction. A true hands on letter.
