Vellum partly-printed DS as president, one page, 13.25 x 8.75, January 21, 1819. President Monroe grants “Fisher A. Blocksome of New Lisbon” land in “the North East quarter of…Steubenville.” Signed at the conclusion by Monroe, who’s darker signature stands out boldly next to the lighter print, and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office, Josiah Meigs. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a uniform shade of toning and heavier areas of soiling, a trivial piece of adhesive on the left edge, a tear along the top of the right-most fold, with a small area of separation towards the bottom of the same fold, and two folds effecting two letters of the signature. White seal is faded but intact. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
