Kennedy, Secretary of the Executive Committee." The Great Exhibition of 1851, held in London's Hyde Park, was a monumental event showcasing the industrial and cultural prowess of the era. Housed within the magnificent Crystal Palace, a vast iron and glass structure designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, the exhibition featured over 100,000 exhibits from around the world. Visitors marveled at technological innovations, artistic masterpieces, and exotic goods, representing the pinnacle of human achievement and creativity. From the latest steam engines and machinery to exquisite fabrics and intricate crafts, the exhibition was a celebration of progress and international collaboration, drawing millions of attendees and leaving a lasting legacy on the Victorian era and beyond. Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States, had a connection to the Great Exhibition of 1851 through his support and facilitation of American participation. During his presidency, Fillmore recognized the importance of showcasing American industrial and cultural achievements on the global stage. He endorsed the involvement of the United States in the exhibition and helped coordinate the efforts to send American exhibits to London. This participation allowed the United States to demonstrate its advancements and ingenuity alongside other leading nations, enhancing its international reputation and fostering transatlantic connections during a period of rapid technological progress. Peter Force was an influential American historian, archivist, and politician of the 19th century, renowned for his dedication to preserving the nation's historical documents. His most notable achievement was the "American Archives," a multi-volume series compiling an extensive collection of Revolutionary War-era documents. Among these treasures was his printing of the Declaration of Independence, known as the Force Declaration, which provided scholars and the public with access to high-quality facsimiles of this foundational document. Force's meticulous work in historical preservation ensured that future generations could study and appreciate the pivotal moments of American history with greater accuracy and understanding.

Fillmore writes, in part: "…I have this moment received yours of the 31st ult. and regret that I was committed to an old friend Capt. Easby, of Washington, before I was aware that you were a candidate for the office of Commissioner of Public Buildings. I fear he stands little chance of success yet there would be an inconsistency in me should I now recommend another. I hope you may receive an appointment in the Custom House should you not succeed in Washington…". Four weeks before this letter Fillmore had been sworn-in as Vice President. Neither the Captain Easby mentioned in the letter nor Fillmore's correspondent John Bryant would succeed in the election to Commissioner of Public Buildings: that office was filled by Charles Douglas in 1847.

The folded leaf measures 5.625" x 3.25." In 1838, Millard Fillmore was busy balancing the obligations of his private law practice with those of politics; Fillmore served as a New York U.S. Congressman between 1837-1843. Admitted to the New York bar in 1823, Fillmore had partnered with Nathan K. Hall (1810-1874) in 1834, and Solomon G. Haven (1810-1861) in 1836. The Buffalo, New York-based firm of Fillmore, Hall, and Haven was politically conservative and politically active; all three law partners would represent New York's 32nd Congressional District as Whig candidates between 1833-1855. President Fillmore later appointed Hall Postmaster General as well as a federal district judge. Fillmore, the son of tenant farmers from upstate New York, lawyer, and aspiring politician, assumed the presidency after the death of his predecessor Zachary Taylor. Fillmores most enduring presidential legacy was his endorsement of the Compromise of 1850. This agreement, launched in a series of five bills by Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas, addressed issues like slavery and territorial expansion.
