Excellent ALS as President, signed “Frank. Pierce,” one page both sides, 6.5 x 8, July 4, 1853. Pierce writes to Franklin Haven, Assistant U.S. Treasurer in Boston. In part: “The truth is I have felt that whatever is in your hands is very safe and that yr. ability & integrity are an abundant guarantee for what should be the leading object of the Government—viz, the security of the public funds. Political considerations and these only may lead to a change, if so the time of the transfer will be so arranged as not to be inconvenient to you….” Light intersecting mailing folds (vertical fold to first name) and faint show-through of ink, otherwise fine, bright condition. An outstanding letter of exceptional date and surprising timeliness! JSA/John Reznikoff Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
