RUTHERFORD B. HAYES’ SIGNED PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH BEFORE CONGRESS FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE ARMY

HAYES, RUTHERFORD B.  (1822-1893).  Nineteenth President of the United States (1877-1881).  Uncommon, and rather scarce “Message  / of the / President of the United States / Returning to the House of Representatives / the / Bill Entitled ‘An Act Making Appropriations for the Support  / of the Army for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, / 1880 and for other purposes.” –  Dated “April 29, 1879.  Washington: Government Printing Office / 1879”.  Boldly signed in the top margin: “With Compliments of / R.B. Hayes” almost certainly as President.  A 12 page bound booklet, internally sewn into the wrapper / covers, that at one time was folded for mailing.  Housed in a custom folding clamshell box, that will sit perfectly on your shelf.  These Presidential off-prints are rather special ‘presidential’ items that deserve serious consideration by any collector of Presidential books.  Very fine condition.
