Description

President Grant's handwritten telegram from Washington, D.C. to his son in New York City

Autograph telegram as president, signed “U. S. Grant,” one page, 7 x 4, Franklin Telegraph Company letterhead, January 27, 1875. Handwritten telegram from "Washington, D.C.," penned by Grant during his presidency, to his son, "Col. F. D. Grant," in part: "Steamer Balhi now at Sandy Hook, coming up. Be sure and meet your sisters at launching about ten thirty." In very good to fine condition, with haloing to the handwritten text, and small areas of paper loss affecting none of Grant's handwriting. An interesting handwritten piece by President Grant as he tends to both family affairs and matters of state.
