Description

ALS signed “J. A. Garfield,” one page, 7.5 x 9.75, House of Representatives letterhead, June 15, 1878. Letter to the Hon. R. M. Reynolds, First Auditor of the US Treasury. In full: "I do not know in what shape the Legislative Bill will finally have the fore in your office; but I think it is not seriously, if at all disturbed. I write to say that Mr. M. J. Foote is my constituent and a most worthy, a competent gentleman, I ask you, to consider favorably, any opportunity which may occur for his promotion, and to see that in any changes be kindly remembered. By doing so you will oblige me." In fine condition, with tape reinforcement to the back of the central horizontal fold, and a strip of old mounting remnants along the back of the left edge.
