Anna Symmes Harrison Autograph Letter Signed, North Bend, June 30

Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison (1775-1864), widow of President William Henry Harrison, signed this autograph letter "Anna Harrison" from North Bend, Ohio, June 30th, 1843, to an unidentified male correspondent. The letter reads: "Sir, I received your letter, containing a request, for some writing of my much lamented Husband. I with pleasure enclose an Autograph and accept Sir, my best wishes, for your health & happiness. Anna Harrison. " Anna Harrison holds the melancholy distinction of being the first presidential widow, as her husband died just 31 days after his inauguration in 1841, before she could even travel to Washington to join him. This item will be accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from One of a Kind Collectibles.
