Tyler’s thoughts on the 1852 Presidential election read in part: ”…From all I hear and see I think Franklin Pierce’s election secure. My only fear is that he may carry into office something of the old leaves that have gone so far toward frustrating the Democratic Party…” There is a postscript asking for clarification of a remedy the son’s friend had suggested.

John Tyler ALS

John Tyler autograph letter signed. From his home in Sherwood Forest, Virginia on 21 October 1860, Tyler responds to a request for an autograph. Tyler, interestingly, was the first Vice President to assume the Presidency due to the death of the Commander-in-Chief, in his case, William Henry Harrison. In fact, when Harrison died, a dispute arose as to whether the law provided for Tyler to actually become President or merely carry out the duties. When Tyler took the oath of office and no one stopped him, he set the precedent for a Vice Presidential succession. He passed away two years after this was written, after his futile attempt to diplomatically resolve the conflict between the north and south. 1pp. measures 4.75″ x 7″. Mounted to paper, with creasing and adhesive residue to verso, else near fine. With PSA/DNA COA. Sold for $1,023.
