Description

Chester A. Arthur

Sought-after ALS as president, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Executive Mansion letterhead, March 30, 1884. Letter to eye and ear specialist Dr. Cornelius Agnew, in full: “My good friend Mrs. Eugene Hale intends to call upon you on Tuesday morning to consult you in regard to her boys’ eyes. I think you know her husband Senator Hale of Maine—he went once to see you with a note of introduction from me.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Arthur’s own hand. An influential Republican senator from Maine, Eugene Hall declined cabinet appointments in both the Grant and Hayes administrations, opting instead to serve thirty years in the US Senate.
