Description

Recognition of "American genius and enterprize"

Rare LS as president signed “Z. Taylor,” one page, 8 x 10, January 30, 1850. Letter to William Hall & Son, in part: "Your favor of Dec. 19, accompanying a copy of the 'Bouquet of Melody,' was duly received, but an answer has been inadvertently omitted until now. You will please receive my best thanks for your attention in sending me a work which at once reflects credit upon so many branches of American genius and enterprize, & in an especial manner upon the House which publishes it." In fine condition. Given his short 16-month tenure in the White House, presidential autographs by Taylor are especially scarce.
