DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., March 31, 1853 Page 3 has a black-bordered report beginning: "It is with unaffected sorrow that we announce the death of Mrs. Abigail Fillmore, the excellent wife of Ex-President Fillmore. She died yesterday morning at Willard's hotel in this city..." with more detail, including a letter signed: Franklin Pierce".
Great to have this report in a newspaper from the city where she died.
Also on page 3: "Mining In California" which has some fine content on the gold rush, beginning: "The news from the mines is encouraging. New diggings have been discovered...".
Four pages, some binding indents at the blank spine, piece from a back margin affects words in ads only, nice condition.
