Lot 405
Jackson, Andrew (1767-1845) 7th President of the United States (1829-1837). Autograph endorsement signed ("A.J.") as President, n.p., April 3, 1835, 8 x 3 in. Jackson orders the restoration of a midshipman: "Let midshipman Chandler be restored to his office. A.J. April 3rd 1835." Jackson wrote his endorsement on the back of a portion of a letter by an unidentified person pleading for Chandler's restoration and stating that he "has made a suitable apology, and suffered punishment by a loss of pay & emoluments…." Chandler's offense is unknown, but a note below Jackson's, in another hand, states that the midshipman was reappointed the same day. A very bold endorsement.
Estimated Value $500-750.
