^Lot 87 James Monroe

DS as president, one page, 16 x 10.75, July 10, 1820. President Monroe appoints William G. McNeill to “a First Lieutenant in the Corps of Artillery.” Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Monroe and countersigned by Secretary of War J. C. Calhoun. In good condition, with scattered toning, foxing and wrinkling, mirroring of printing from folding, handwritten portions light but legible, several storage folds and a relatively clean Monroe signature. The seal is worn and wrinkled, but intact.
