ALS signed “J. A. Garfield,” one page, 5.5 x 8, June 30, 1880. Brief letter of thanks to Thomas E. Burns for a previous letter. In full: “Accept my thanks for yours of yesterday.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning, and light mirroring of text along bottom.

Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Also accompanied by a three page ALS to President Garfield from W. S. Wilson, dated March, 1881, on behalf of Wilson, seeking an appointment. This letter reads, in part: “Col. Burns was a gallant soldier and an excellent officer, a true brave and generous man. He has ever been an earnest Republican, possessing at all times and under all circumstances the courage of his convictions. He was the Republican nominee for Congress…made an active vigorous canvas off the district and pulled the largest vote that has ever been brought out by any Republican candidate…He is exceedingly popular and although an uncompromising Republican received many votes from democrats whose personal liking for Col. Burns caused them to throw off their party allegiances.”
