LS signed “J. A. Garfield,” two lightly-lined pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, crossed-out Treasury Department letterhead, February 6, 1878. Letter to the Rev. J. H. Jones in Ohio concerning shipping potatoes to the Garfield family in Washington. In part: “Please ask Barbour, station master, what it will cost per bbl. to ship potatoes to Washington, and then tell me whether a few barrels of sound ones can be found in the cellar. I am not sure but it would be cheaper to buy here at 75 c. than to ship them from home.” In very good condition, with several repairs to separations and tears, mild toning and soiling, and a diagonal crease to first page of letter. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
