DAVID DAVIS
Justice Davis responds to a request in 1867
Autograph Letter Signed: "David Davis/Asso Jus. SC of U.S." as Associate Justice, 1p, 5x8. Bloomington, Illinois, 1867 July 24. In full: "Dear Sir, It affords me pleasure to comply with your request by subscribing myself. Most Truly Yours," From 1848 to 1862, Davis (1815-1886) presided over the renowned Eighth Judicial Circuit in Illinois, famous because Abraham Lincoln practiced in its courts. An intimate of Lincoln (they often bunked together when traveling the circuit), Davis successfully managed Lincoln's campaign to secure the Republican nomination for the presidency in Chicago in 1860. Davis was appointed by President Lincoln as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1862, serving until he resigned in 1877 to become Senator from Illinois (1877-1883). Multiple mailing folds. Toned at right edge. Corners lightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
