Rare Executive Mansion card bearing an ANS in pencil, signed “R. B. H.,” January 10, 1878. In full: “I wish the Portsmouth case to wait until I can see you & look into it. Can you have the Senate Committee hold the confirmation?” A collector’s notation to the reverse indicates that the message was to his postmaster general, James Noble Tyner. In fine condition, with a small crease to the center and some toning to the upper corner tips. It is quite unusual to find a note on a White House or Executive Mansion card. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
