Partly-printed DS as president, signed “Th: Jefferson,” one page, 13.25 x 13 (possibly trimmed), February 23, 1803. President Jefferson appoints Joseph Goodhue “a Surgeon’s Mate in the Army.” Signed at the conclusion by Jefferson, and countersigned by Secretary of War Henry Dearborn. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered toning, and portions of handwritten text light, but legible. This document is housed in a very extravagant custom half-leather case. After years of being a farmer, Goodhue finally acted on his long-delayed dream and joined the army, serving as the United States Army Surgeon for Fort Constitution, New Hampshire.
