Partly-printed DS as governor of Tennessee, one page, 12.5 x 15.25, July 14, 1840. Governor Polk grants Robert C. Johnson "a certain Tract or Parcel of Land, containing forty acres, lying in the county of Bradley." Signed at the conclusion by Polk as governor, and countersigned by John S. Young as secretary of state, and F. J. R. Edwards as register of the Ocoee District. In very good condition, with scattered staining, small areas of paper loss along fragile intersecting folds, and complete separation across the central horizontal fold, held in place with a few small pieces of archival tape on the reverse; Polk's signature is clear and essentially unaffected by any flaws.
