PRESIDENTS] GRANT AND JOHNSON. GRANT, Ulysses. Clipped signature ("U.S. Grant") on a presentation card ( 2 in. x 3¼ ), mounted on a lithographic image of the President. -- JOHNSON, Andrew. Autograph letter signed ("Andrew Johnson") to Secretary of the Navy (Gideon Welles), Washington, D. C. 9 March 1861. 1 page, 8vo, ruled paper . A REQUEST TO ADMIT A CONSTITUENT TO ANNAPOLIS. "Enclosed find a letter of Stuart Nelson of Tennessee who desires the appointment of Cadet in the naval School. You will please inform me if there is a vacancy from the first Congressional District of Tennessee." Johnson writes just days after Lincoln's Inauguration, in the midst of the tumultuous secession crisis that followed Lincoln's election and ended at Fort Sumter. Johnson was the only Southern Senator to denounce the secession movement and stand by the Union. Such loyalty--and his valuable Southern credentials--won him the nod as Lincoln's running mate and Vice-President in 1864. (2)
