Scarce ALS, one page, 8 x 10, June 21, 1842. Letter to Committee members B. Schott, Anthony Germann, and John Hauck. In full: “Under cover from my friend Moses Dawson Esqr I have received your letter of the 8th instant informing me, that those you represent as a committee, have formed themselves into a military company and have resolved, with my permission, to call it the Jackson Guards. I with pleasure yield my approbation to your request, being fully pursuaded [sic], from your true democratic principles, you will allways [sic] be found in the front rank, repelling forever invaders, or intestine traitors, who may attempt to destroy our republican system, by disolving [sic] our glorious nation.” Reverse bears an integral address panel in Jackson’s hand to “Messrs. B. Schott, Anthony Germann, John Hauck, Committee, Cincinnati, Ohio.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, two through a single letters of signature, several small areas of professional restoration evident, and a heavy shade of uniform toning (not affecting the readability of the boldly penned text). The letter has been professionally, removably, encapsulated for preservation.
The former President’s wish that the Jackson Guards be “in the front rank” came to fruition 19 years later, during the Civil War, when their dedication to “true democratic principles” pitted them against Confederate troops, the predicted “traitors, who may attempt to destroy our republic system by (dissolving) our glorious nation.” In 1861, following the first shots of the war, the Jackson Guards were mobilized as Company K of the First Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, one of the first two Ohio infantry regiments organized for the war, and sent to defend Washington, DC. Jackson is seldom seen in handwritten letters. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
