Description

Partly-printed vellum DS as president, signed "Benj. Harrison," one page, 15.5 x 19.5, July 9, 1889. President Harrison appoints Walter S. Burke as “an Ensign in the Navy.” Signed at the conclusion by Benjamin Harrison and countersigned by Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy. One line of the document has been crossed out, ostensibly due to Congress being in recess at the time. The original blue Navy Department seal remains affixed to the lower vignette. In fine condition, with some light scattered toning.
