Lot 1581
Hatton, Robert Hopkins. Autograph Letter Signed ("R. Hatton"), matted and framed with two carte de visite copies to 15 x 12". As U.S. Representative from Tennessee. One page, small quarto, Washington D.C., February 10, 1861. Presumably in regard to a constituent, Hatton writes: "Has a pension ever been given to Wm. or 'Buck' Faulk of Tennessee? If so has any or all of the money been drawn? Respectfully, R. Hatton". Transmittal folds, one brief pencil notation above the signature indicating it is Hatton, some show through of an ink blot on the verso, one round spot above the signature. Corner of postmark faintly visible through paper at top left corner. Overall, very good condition.
Hatton's is a very scarce and desirable signature, and this ALS was signed just over a year before Hatton was killed at Seven Pines.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
