John Tyler autograph letter signed as Vice President, dated 8 March 1841 from Washington. Tyler wrote only a few letters during his short 34-day stint as Vice President, making this letter exceedingly rare. Addressed to George Williamson, Tyler recommends a political appointment for Minister to Vienna, ''...Your letter of the 15 February recommending Mr. Hoffman as Minister to Vienna reached me since my arrival in this City, and entertaining a high respect for the character of Mr. Hoffman, I have submitted your letter to the President of the U. States...'' With bold, underlined ''John Tyler'' signature at close. Letter has some tape remnants from mounting on verso, else near fine condition.
