^Lot 53 Benjamin Harrison

Partly-printed DS as president, signed “Benj Harrison,” one page, 15.5 x 19.5, July 9, 1889. Harrison appoints Walter S. Burke “an Ensign in the Navy.” Signed at the conclusion by Harrison and countersigned by Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy. One line of the document has been crossed out, probably due to Congress being in recess at the time. Intersecting folds, and scattered light toning and creasing, otherwise fine condition. The blue seal is worn but intact.
