President Andrew Johnson Document Signed
<B>President Andrew Johnson Document Signed,</B></I> two pages, 10.5” x 16.75”, Washington, D.C., august 26, 1865, countersigned by William H. Seward, Secretary of State. This manuscript grants a Presidential pardon to one Mary Hardnett, who was “<I>convicted of larceny, and sentenced to thirty days imprisonment.</B></I>” Affixed with Presidential Seal. Complete separation along central fold, else sound stock with only light browning. This item is certainly evocative of a bygone era in that one cannot imagine a modern chief executive bothering with such a small-time criminal case. <I>Ex. Henry C.
