Bold and neat ink signature as president, "James A. Garfield, May 21, 1881,” on an off-white 5.5 x 2.75 slip. In very fine condition. Shot on July 2, 1881, Garfield died on September 19, only 200 days into his term. Signatures of Garfield as president are thus extremely rare, and this is a choice example.
