GALUSHA A. GROW
Galusha A. Grow sends an autograph letter to noted autograph collector Lewis J. Cist about being elected Speaker of the House.
Autograph Letter Signed: "Galusha A. Grow", 1p, 5x8. Glenwood, 1868 April 7. To noted autograph collector Lewis J. Cist. In full: "Mislaid among unanswered letters I find yours which is my excuse for so long a delay in answering. P.S. Elected Speaker [of the House] July 4, 1861 term closed March 4th 1863." GALISHA A. GROW (1823-1907) represented Pennsylvania in Congress from 1851-1857 as a Democrat and from 1857-1863 as a Republican. He was Speaker of the House for the first two years of the Civil War (1861-1863). Later serving as President of the Houston & Great Northern Railroad Co. of Texas (1871-1876), he returned to Pennsylvania and engaged in lumber, oil and soft-coal pursuits. Grow went back to Congress, serving from 1894-1903. CIST's collection of over 11,000 autographs was one of the largest and most famous in the U.S. when it was sold in New York in 1886 and 1887; Cist had died in 1885. Items from Cist's collection are very desirable. 2 tack head-size light stains at blank left. Minor ink smudges at postscript. Fine condition.
