Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “James Madison” as president and “Jas. Monroe” as Secretary of State, three pages, 12.25 x 14.75, November 19, 1811. A patent issued to James Macomber “that he has invented a new and useful improvement being a descending air flue with the Chimneys Pipes & c, in which it is to be used.” Signed at the conclusion by Madison and Monroe, and countersigned by Attorney General Caesar Rodney. Remaining two pages bear a lengthy handwritten account of the improvement signed by Macomber. In very good condition, with moderate storage folds, one through a portion of Monroe’s signature, scattered light toning and soiling, heavier to last two pages, and some handwritten portions of document a shade or two light, but still legible. The white wafer seal is intact and the yellow ribbon binding the pages together is also present. Accompanied by several other pages of information from Macomber describing his invention and his efforts to have it patented. A desirable document signed by two consecutive chief executives.
