Autograph endorsement signed “M. Van Buren,” on the reverse of a manuscript document, one page, 8 x 7, March 12, 1841. Van Buren writes, in part: “I constitute…my attorney to receive payments…according to its tenor…and owe the same on the due Bill…left in his hands for that purpose.” The document on the opposite side, signed by Senator Robert J. Walker, in part: “Pay to the order of his Excy. Martin Van Buren nineteen hundred dollars with interest…for a balance due by me to Mr. Van Buren for furniture…the payment to be made by you as Secretary of the Senate out of my per diem as a Senator.” In fine condition, with a small split along one of the intersecting folds. Van Buren had left the White House just a week before the March 12th date of this document.
