Third-person ALS as president, signed within the body as “The President of the United States” and “The President,” one page, 8 x 10, April 29, 1835. Letter to General James Talmage in New York. In part: “The President of the United States with his kind regards to Genl. James Talmage encloses two letters—one to Edward Livingston, Esq. our postmaster…the other to Francis B. Ogden, Esq. Consul at Liverpool which he hopes he will please to deliver to the respective address with his own hands. The President presents to the Genl. and his daughter his fervent wishes for their safe and pleasant journey to Europe and a safe return to their country and friends again.” In very good condition, with professionally repaired separations to intersecting folds, small areas of paper loss along folds (affecting a few words), toning and chipping to edges, and a few stray ink marks and blots. The second recipient of Jackson’s greetings, diplomat Francis Barber Ogden, served as his aide-de-camp at the battle of New Orleans two decades prior, in January of 1815. He was also a close friend and colleague of the famed Swedish-American inventor John Ericsson, and played a key role in introducing the first screw-propelled steamboats in the US.
