offered is a rare unlisted illustrated campaign letter sheet, with an embossed image of William Henry Harrison, issued during the 1840 presidential election against Martin Van Buren.
A similar letter sheet is shown as WH-30 in Dr Milgram's book " Presidential campaign illustrated envelopes and letter paper 1840-1872. This letter sheet has an image of Harrison's Cabin, and the imprint states: entered according to act of congress in the year 1840 by Nath Dearborn in the clerk's office in the district court of Mass. The folded letter, with no postal markings, was written by Sarah, to her friend Lucy Howland, in Providence, RI. .It is a rather random letter, with information pertaining to both of them.
This is a true find for collectors or researchers of early political campaign ephemera.
