This is a Western Union Telegram that at first glance, appears to have been signed by future president James A. Garfield. A closer look reveals that it was probably signed by a secretary of some other member of his staff. It's dated March 8, 1871 and sends condolences to a friend who is obviously going through a tough time. Please see photos for more details. [ Washington Washington, D.C.
