Description

Garfield “subscribes” with a rare version of his full signature

ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 5.25, House of Representatives letterhead, February 18, 1867. Brief letter complying with a signature request. In full: “In answer to your request I subscribe myself.” In very good condition, with toning and foxing to borders due to adhesive remnants to reverse, and a roughly trimmed bottom edge. A scarce form of Garfield’s signature given that he used this format mostly for official activities during his brief presidential administration. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
