PIERCE, FRANKLIN, President . Autograph letter signed in full, as Senator from New Hampshire, to Jonathan Harvey of Sutton Village, N.H.; Washington D.C., 15 December 1838. 1 1/2 pages, 4to, integral address leaf with panel in Pierce's hand, original circular postmark and PIERCE'S FREE FRANK: "Free Franklin Pierce," small stain on page 1.
