JACKSON, Andrew (1767-1845; American military hero of the War of 1812, 7th President of the United States, 1829-1837).

AUTOGRAPH ENDORSEMENT, initialed as President, written on what looks to be a blank leaf from a letter, in full: “Referred to the acting / Secretary of the Navy - / that he may furnish / a concise synopsis of the / within case, & inform / the president whether / he can, from any precedents in the Dept. / be reappointed, losing / his place on the register / & being placed at the / foot of his class – or will / his former conduct / prevent this, or prevent / his reappointment as / a midshipman. / [signed with initials:]

May 9th 1833 – A. J.” To the side in ink, in another hand: “Answd 11th May.” Above in a third hand, in pencil: “file this with letter of Mrs. / Jane C. Washington of 4 Jany.” Two other pencil notes relating to the action are below Jackson’s endorsement. Jane Charlotte Blackburn Washington (1786-1855), the wife of John Augustine Washington, nephew of George Washington, had apparently written Jackson on behalf of a disciplined naval midshipman. Old fold lines, as for mailing, but very good. Item #66704
