Thomas Jefferson Presidential free frank signature, beautifully penned by Jefferson who also handwrites the entire envelope. Cover is addressed to Georgia Governor John Milledge, an important figure in the Revolutionary War; in 1775 he imprisoned the colonial governor of Georgia, Sir James Wright, and later fought in the Siege of Savannah. Postmarked 22 November (circa 1802) from Washington, D.C., President Jefferson writes in full, ''free / Th: Jefferson Pr. US. / His Excellency / Governor Milledge / Augusta Georgia''. Jefferson's name is written again along the left edge in another hand. Envelope measures 5'' x 3.5'', nicely framed with a portrait of Jefferson to a size of 12.5'' x 16.5''. Folds and light wear as expected, overall in very good plus condition. With COAs from Bauman Rare Books and Charles Hamilton Autographs.
