LS as president, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, November 8, 1871. Letter to naturalist and geologist Prof. Henry A. Ward who took part in a US expedition to Santo Domingo in 1871. In part: “I am in receipt of the beautifully executed raised map of the island of Santo Domingo you so kindly forwarded to me…Your personal observations added to your thorough investigation enabled you to execute this map with great accuracy.” In fine condition, with some light show-through from writing on reverse. In addition to Ward’s scientific work, his report endorsed annexation by the US, a project favored by Grant.
