TLS as president signed “Benj Harrison,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Executive Mansion letterhead, September 1, 1890. Letter to W. H. Smith. In part: “I placed your letter…on my desk, and deferred an answer until I could have a talk with the Postmaster General…Mr. Wanamaker has had peculiar notions as to what he wanted in a Superintendent of Foreign Mails, and has denied a good many applications. He has been trying to find someone who has had experience…I have not felt like insisting upon any appointment that was not entirely satisfactory to him, though he has been hard to suit. He has some plans about improving the foreign mail service, and wants in the place a man who can promote them.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some mild rippling and discoloration from moisture exposure.
