Description

Martin Van Buren

Full free frank, measuring 9.75 x 7.75 unfolded, with panel measuring 5.25 x 3.5, addressed in another hand “For Mrs. Charles S. Daveis, Portland, Maine,” and franked in the upper right “M. Van Buren.” Panel also bears a “Free” stamp below the franking signature, a “Department of State” notation in the upper right, and a date stamp, “Apr. 10,” to the left side. Inside is a three page letter, seemingly by Mr. Daveis, describing an ocean journey to France. Van Buren appears to have franked the letter as a favor. In good condition, with repaired near-complete separations to folds, an overall shade of toning, and a few pencil notations to the lower panel. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
