The name "Johnson" and "Andrew Johnson" appears 6 times on the first and second pages. The 17th President was apparently in a doodling mood during the speech when he decided to practice writing his full name on the vertical front right margin and on the third page at the top: "Johnson Andrew Johnson / Johnson Andrew Johnson". All of the signatures are in pencil. An interesting piece and signature of the 17th President of the United States. With a James Spence Authentication Full Letter of Authenticity. CONDITION: The pamphlet exhibits blemishes that are typical of old paper including foxing, edge wear, and various other blemishes from handling and storage. (B) "Our Union" song page. CONDITION: The song page exhibits blemishes typical of old paper with noticeable foxing. PROVENANCE: Both pieces were once part of the renowned collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer.
