ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, Greeneville, Tenn., June 26, 1869. Letter to the gentlemen of a committee. In part: “In compliance with your request I will address the people of Smith County at Carthage on Tuesday 20th of July; if agreeable to the committee—if that day is not suitable they will please advise me as soon as convenient—Since I had the pleasure of an interview with you at Gallatin I feel well satisfied that there is a great change going on in the public mind and if their [sic] is a reasonable effort made the state can be redeemed.” In fine condition.
After leaving the presidency in March of 1869, Johnson returned to Greeneville for the first time in eight years. Having firmly held to the Union while Tennessee seceded, he had faced widespread scorn from his statesmen during the Civil War; but with his Southern leanings as president—pushing for the quick restoration of states to the Union, and leaving the issue of African-American suffrage to the states to decide—he regained some support in his home state. With his impeachment and near removal from the White House, he returned home anxious to vindicate himself, seeking a Senate bid for the upcoming election. Though unsuccessful initially, he was finally elected in 1875, just four months before his death. A pleasant letter from the controversial former president, hopeful in his quest to rejoin Tennessee’s political scene.
