Monroe, James. Moderately age-toned, with a few faint, occasional stains to recto and verso, otherwise fine. This document is a marvelous example of President Monroe's signature, which has lost none of its luster, and is still very dark and very bold.

Letter Signed as President. One page, Quarto, with integral address leaf, Washington, June 1, 1821. To Thomas Munroe, Esq., Postmaster. Presidential authorization allowing an aide-de-camp in the United States Army to temporarily perform the duties of Adjutant General. President Monroe writes:

"Sir, Lieut. E. Kirby, A.D. Camp to Major General Brown is authorised [sic] to perform the duties of Adjutant General of the Army until the arrival of the officer, who may be permanently assigned to that duty. James Monroe."

Fine.
