Description
Martin Van Buren Partly Printed Document Signed "M. Van Buren", one page, 16" x 11.5", Washington, D.C., July 6, 1840. The document appoints Benjamin B. French to be a Justice of the Peace in Washington, D.C. French was a Washington insider and was highly visible, mainly because of the various federal offices he held between 1828 and 1870. These positions allowed him access to powerful officeholders. He is best remembered for his journal which he used to record his observations of twelve presidential administrations, with special attention to the Lincoln administration. The paper and wax seal of the United States is affixed in the lower left portion of the document.Auction Info
