Politician (1808–1873) who served as secretary of the treasury for the first three years of Abraham Lincoln's term, after which Lincoln appointed him chief justice of the Supreme Court. In that role Chase presided over the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. ALS signed “S. P. Chase,” one page, 7.25 x 9, embossed letterhead, June 10, 1837. Chase writes, in part: “I have to acknowledge the honor of receiving your letter of the 3rd list. I accept, with pleasure this gratifying distinction, which your society has been pleased to confer upon me, though I am at a loss to know what there is in my reputation or character which entitles me to it. Oblige me, gentlemen, by making known to the society which you represent my acknowledgments for the honor it has done me, & accept for yourselves individually the assurance of my respect & best wishes.” Address panel written in Chase’s hand on reverse of the second integral page. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one lightly passing through the first letter of the signature, scattered creasing, toning, and an area of paper loss to the top edge of the address panel page.
