Dowd was my great grandfather. He was a distinguished Civil War hero. I was notified by about 25 people who saw the Antiques Road Show on which this appointment was originally presented. I could never financially afford to purchase this document, but wondered if there is anyway that I could get a reporduction of the document through some medium for which I would gladly pay. My interest is for family history. I am a soon to be retired federal prosecutor living in Indianapolis, IN. Thank you for your time. John Dowd Rick:

It's the bottom one third of a piece of notepaper that he had written a letter on. I would assume the letter was folded in threes like we do today. The top two portions are gone. It's one sentence... "...hoping to hear good news on Tuesday". Then it's signed affectionately by Garfield. It has the name of the recipient also written on the bottom of the paper; a General L.W. Heath, from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Being that the top two portions of the note paper are gone there is no date, so who knows when he signed it. However, the ink, and signature, and the sentence are bold and crystal clear and the paper is in remarkably good shape. Any thoughts on what the value may be? hello Rick,
