1896 Senate Chamber John Sherman Autograph Letter Washington DC Treasury Sec

This is an original handwritten letter dated January 7, 1896, from John Sherman, a prominent U.S. Senator, written on official Senate Chamber stationery from Washington, D.C. The letter is addressed to Mr. Gilbert A. Pierce (a notable figure himself—Pierce was a former Governor of Dakota Territory and later a U.S. Senator from North Dakota) and discusses sending a speech and a copy of the Record, reflecting the legislative correspondence of the late 19th century. John Sherman was a key political figure, serving as Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State, and is best remembered for the Sherman Antitrust Act.The letter measures approximately 8 by 5 inches and shows typical signs of age with slight toning and minor handling marks, consistent with its historical period. The clear signature and content add significant value for collectors interested in political memorabilia, U.S. Senate history, and 19th-century American ephemera. This piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of U.S. government correspondence during a transformative era in American politics.
