LS as president signed “Benj Harrison,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 9, Executive Mansion letterhead, March 16, 1889. Letter to W. H. Smith. In part: “I do not think I can gratify your request in the direction you have suggested, as my thoughts had already taken direction. Indeed I find I am going to be very greatly embarrassed in providing for my Indianapolis friends. I know that you, in your correspondence have very strongly pointed out the objection of concentrating too many appointments at Indianapolis. Of course there are several things there that I must do; and, out of all this, I have a sincere purpose to do the best I can for my Indiana friends. Yet, after all is done that can be done, I dread to think of the numerous disappointments that will exist.” In fine condition. This letter was written just twelve days after Harrison’s March 4th, 1889 inauguration. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
