ALS as president, one page, 5 x 8, July 23, 1860. Letter to Philip F. Thomas, the commissioner of patents, in full: “Will you please to communicate my thanks to Messrs Van Bussum & Beaumont for the samples of twenty four varieties of gooseberries grown by members of the Horticultural association at Paterson sent to me through your office. They were all so excellent that it would be difficult to decide which was best. But excellent as they were I value them highest as a token of regards & esteem from the worthy & respectable donors.” In fine condition, with a block of light toning. Accompanied by an unsigned engraved portrait of Buchanan. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
