Garret A. Hobart – McKinley’s first Vice President, signed letter, June 23, 1896, thanking George M. Geisel for a letter of congratulations after being nominated for vice president. Hobart is somewhat uncommon, having died in office. McKinley, of course, would seek a second term with a new running mate, Theodore Roosevelt. The letter is on Hobart’s law firm stationery and generally fine, with some ink blotting on a few end strokes of his signature.
