Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8.5 x 10.75, November 21, 1868. President Johnson directs the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to “the envelope of my Letter to the King of the Hellenes (complimentary).” Signed neatly at the conclusion by Andrew Johnson. In very good to fine condition, with faint edge toning, and a stain to the left side. George I (1845-1913) ruled as King of Greece from 1863 to 1913 when he was elected as ‘King of the Hellenes’ in 1863 at the age of 17. This interesting document might relate to one of two significant events: the 1868 establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and Greece; or, the birth of George's first son, Constantine I. In June 1868, Johnson appointed Charles K. Tuckerman as the first Minister to Greece and opened a legation in Athens; at the same time, Constantine I was born on July 21, 1868.
