ALS signed “Frank. Pierce,” one page both sides,, lightly-lined, 7.75 x 9.75, September 30, 1851. Letter to New Hampshire congressman and US Commissioner of Patents Edmund Burke, in part: “I was sorry on my return home from Belknap County on Saturday to learn, that you were not at the meeting of the State Committee last week…Edson Hill was just in our office & mentioned the name of a candidate for Governor which struck me more favorably than any I had yet heard. I refer to John L. Putnam of Cornish…You will understand much better than I do whether he enjoys the standing & has the qualities desirable & available for the occasion. Councilor Ross of Hanover has, I find, been a good deal talked about and he is I have no doubt an excellent man—but I am firmly of the opinion that Judge Putnam, altho he did not occur to me till this morning, would be decidedly our best candidate.” In fine condition.
