- Lot Description
Garfield, James (1831-1881). President of the United States (1881). ALS, 1p, on US House of Representatives letterhead, Washington, DC. April 12, 1879. Signed J.A. Garfield. To Hon F. Thorp, Columbus, OH. He tells Thorp, I note what you say of the situation there, and I hope my friends will stand firm in protecting me in the position I have taken in regard to the Governorship.
Fellow Ohioan Rutherford Hayes suggested Garfield seek the Ohio governorship as a road to the White House, but Garfield decided to reject that path and to instead seek one of the Senate seats for Ohio. He was elected to the Senate, but before he could take his seat, he became the Republican Party's "dark horse" nominee for President. He would be elected, of course, then shot on July 2nd by Charles Guiteau. After eleven weeks, Garfield died, just the second President to be assassinated, after Abraham Lincoln.
Folds and minor handling wear, as expected.Condition
