ALS as president, one page, 7.5 x 10, March 3, 1849. Addressed from Washington, a handwritten letter from James K. Polk sent to his Secretary of War, William L. Marcy, in full: “Will you without fail issue the cadets’ warrants today and transmit them as indicated in the paper I gave you. If you cannot get the Christian name of Stewart issue it blank and send it, to Mr. Rhett.” In very good to fine condition, with overall wrinkling, rippling, and slightly irregular toning. An appealing piece of correspondence from the president to a cabinet member, penned by Polk on the last full day of his presidency.
