James K. Polk Autograph Letter Signed as President
James K. Polk autograph letter signed as President, dated 3 April 1848. He writes to Secretary of State James Buchanan regarding “my message to the two houses of Congress”, and references “Mr. Rush’s dispatch”, likely referring to Richard Rush, the U.S. Minister to France. It was a tumultuous and uncertain time in France, with the French Revolution of 1848 occurring five weeks earlier, and France’s June Days uprising less than three months later. Letter reads, “Dr Sir: I desire to send my message to the two houses of Congress, at the opening of their session today. Will you send to run the copies of Mr. Rush’s dispatch with the accompanying documents, before that hour?…James K. Polk / Monday Morning April 3rd 1848: / To the Hon. James Buchanan / Sec. of State”. Single page letter on bifolium stationery measures 8″ x 10″. Separation starting along one fold, light toning and foxing. Overall in very good condition. Sold for $1,300.
