Partially printed vellum DS as president, one page, 13.25 x 9.5, April 20, 1818. Desirable military land grant by which President Monroe, "in pursuance of the Acts of Congress appropriating and granting Land to the late Army of the United States," grants "Alvin Hight, late a private in Crane's Company of Artillery, a certain Tract of Land, containing one hundred and Sixty Acres." Boldly signed at the conclusion in ink by President James Monroe and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office Josiah Meigs. The white paper seal affixed at lower left remains intact. Extensively endorsed on the reverse by Hight and a notary public as part of a subsequent real estate transaction. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light staining, toning, and soiling; the signature itself is not only completely unaffected, but also exceptionally bold and dark, and easily rates as fine.
