Contact seller5-star sellerThis interesting figure combined his scholarly and linguistic skills (first American to translate Ivan Turgenev and Leo Tolstoy) with a diplomatic career (among other posts, he served as American Consul General in Constantinople, first American Minister to Romania and Serbia, U.S. Minister to Greece, etc.). Partial ADS on a 3" X… 1½" slip with printed border, n.p., n.y. Very good. Apparently the lower right portion of a pay slip from one of Schuyler's postings as a Consul, signed boldly in brown ink, with "salary for quarter ending" in his hand above; after the printed word "Consul" beneath his signature, he pens the word "General." Undated, but signed either during his tenure as American Consul General in Constantinople (1876-78), Birmingham (1878) or Rome (1879-80).
