Autographs of Garfield during his presidency are not commonOn July 2, 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot in the back by a disgruntled civil servant, Charles Guiteau, as he entered a train station in Washington, D.C. He served just 200 days in the office. Garfield survived the July 2, 1881, shooting and was nursed valiantly by his doctors at the White House until the beginning of September, when he was moved to the New Jersey seaside where he died on September 19, 1881.An unaccomplished partial check on the Riggs Bank in Washington, D.C., signed by President Garfield and sent by Garfield?s wife, Lucretia, likely in response to an autograph request. On the verso, she has stated, ?Written July 1st 1881, the day before the assassination. Lucretia Garfield.?Autographs from Garfield's time in the executive office are rare.? We are aware of only a few other examples of a Garfield Presidential check reaching the market.
