17th President of the U.S. ALS from Blountville, Tennessee July the 24th 1845. Full page 10 ½ x 8”. Integral address leaf addressed in Johnson’s hand to the Commissioner of Pensions in Washington City, D.C., bearing Johnson’s free frank (signed A. Johnson) as a member of Congress. He is here seeking help for a constituent, who has not been receiving the pension payments due him. Johnson recites the facts in detail with great clarity. He states, “Your early attention to this matter will confer a great favor upon this old man.” He signs “A. Johnson”. A small piece of paper is missing, affecting part of two words.
This lot includes a ticket to Johnson’s impeachment trial May 11, 1868 – faded but legible.
