(1833 - 1901) 23rd President of the United States. Fine content A.L.S. ""Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Harrison"" as Presidential candidate, 1p. 8vo., [n.p., Aug. 5, 1888], to Mrs. Sheridan upon the death of her husband, General Philip Sheridan. In part: ""...Allow us to express our deep sympathy with you and the children on the great sorrow that has fallen upon your household.

Sheridan, a famous Indian fighter and major general, was best remembered for leading Sheridan's Ride which saved the Union army at the Battle of Winchester. Boldly written and very good.
