Partly-printed DS, one page, 13 x 16, September 29, 1856. As governor of Tennessee, Johnson grants Zadock Mattow a “certain Tract or Parcel of Land, containing Sixty Two acres…on the headwaters of Mulberry Creek.” Signed at the conclusion by Governor Johnson and countersigned by a secretary. In very good condition, with cleanly repaired partial separations to intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), toning to folds and slight paper loss at intersections, and light soiling. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. A scarce and desirable format.
