American statesman (1801–1872) who served as secretary of state in the Lincoln administration and who was severely injured in an attack that was part of the assassination conspiracy. His greatest political achievement was the purchase of Alaska from Russia, derided by contemporary skeptics as “Seward’s Folly.” Partly-printed DS, signed “William H. Seward,” one page, 20.5 x 16.75, April 18, 1866. A four-language ship’s papers issued to Henry M. Nexie, “master or commander of the…Pincer…lying at present in the port of New Bedford, bound for Hudson Bay and laden with Provisions, Stores, and Utensils for a whaling voyage.” The document also bears the ink-stamped signature of Andrew Johnson as president. The embossed paper seal remains intact. In very good condition, with creasing, short separations along intersecting folds and a few tears reinforced from the reverse by tape, and light toning.
