Buchanan, James.
Partially Printed Document Signed. Four pages, Quarto, Washington DC, November 22, 1847. Document certifies that "...the papers hereto attached are true copies of original papers on file in this Department ...in virtue of the act entitled 'An act to carry into effect the convention between the United States and the Republic of Peru concluded at Lima the seventeenth day of March eighteen hundred and forty one,' approved 5th August 1846... " In 1845, General Ramon Castilla became President of Peru, developing the guano industry and opening trade with Europe and the United States. This document hails from Castilla's reign and concerns trade between the two countries. Moderate age-toning, with a large water stain affecting nearly all the right side of the document's first page. All writing is still quite legible, and the signature is unaffected. White wafer seal of the State Department at lower left.
Estimated Value $300-400.
