The National Bank of Commerce check, 8 x 3, filled out and signed by Garfield, payable to Burke A. Hinsdale for $520, September 18, 1882. A two-cent revenue stamp is affixed to upper left, and Garfield has crossed out “Bearer” and added “order.”
In fine condition, with three light vertical folds (two passing through two letters of the signature), brushing to a portion of the writing, and expected bank stamps and central cancellation cuts.
The $520 payment certainly is tied to the publication of The Works of James Abram Garfield. Following President Garfield's assassination in 1881, Lucretia Garfield authorized his close friend and former pupil, Burke A. Hinsdale, to collect, edit, and publish the late president's writings. The check represents hefty compensation or reimbursement connected to this major editorial endeavor.
With two additional Letters of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication and James Spence Authentication / JSA
