LS as president-elect signed “J. A. Garfield,” one page, lightly-lined, 8 x 10.25, personal letterhead, December 4, 1880. Letter to W. A. M. Grier, Esq. In full: “Yours of the 26th instant reached me just as I was about leaving Washington. I should have been glad to attend the rededication of Pardee Hall, but it was necessary for me to reach home in time to meet the Ohio Electors, who were to visit me. Thanking you for your kind expressions.” A postscript, added to the bottom reads “P.S. Since writing the above I find yours of the 17th instant, which came while I was in Washington. I wish to add my thanks for your congratulations and suggestions.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, two passing though single letters of the signature, professional repairs to reverse of folds, and some mild toning.

Also included is an LS, signed by Postmaster General T. L. James, two lightly-lined pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Office of the Postmaster General letterhead, July 18, 1881. In part: “We have passed through some pretty dark days since the attempt on the President’s life was made, but now each day brings news as to his condition and we firmly believe he will recover. The expressions of sympathy for the inmates of the Executive Mansion received from all parts of the world are very touching, and go far towards showing the affection in which the brave, noble man who is at its head, is held by the people of all lands.”
