Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 23 x 18, June 30, 1834. President Jackson appoints Marmaduke Burrough of New Jersey as "Consul of the United States of America, for the Port of Vera Cruz, in the United Mexican States, and such other parts as shall be nearer thereto than to the residence of any other Consul or Vice-Consul of the United States within the same allegiance." Prominently signed at the conclusion in ink by President Andrew Jackson and countersigned by Secretary of State John Forsyth. The crisply embossed white paper seal affixed at the lower left remains intact. In very good to fine condition, with splitting to the intersecting folds, reinforced with tape on the reverse. The appointee, Marmaduke Burrough (1798–1844), a Philadelphia physician and diplomat, had the distinction of acquiring America's first rhinoceros during his time as consul in Calcutta.
