Tyler, John as Vice President, letter signed to an unidentified correspondent, Washington, [D.C.], 10 March 1841

TYLER, JOHN

LETTER SIGNED ("JOHN TYLER"), RECOMMENDATION FOR R.N. CRITTENDEN

One page (7 7/8 x 7 7/8 in.; 201 x 202 mm) inscribed on verso by Crittenden (9 June 1841), Washington, [D.C.], 10 March 1841; trimmed, backed with tissue and expertly conserved, some soiling and small stains.

A rare example of John Tyler's signature as Vice President

After the inauguration, Tyler left Washington to return to his home in Virginia. Having no official reason to sign documents during that month, it is almost certain that the number of Tyler autographs dated during the short Harrison Administration is smaller than those of Harrison himself.
