HARRISON, Benjamin (1833-1901), President. Letter signed ("Benj Harrison") to General James Grant Wilson, Indianapolis, 22 November 1893. 3 pages, 8vo, on mourning stationery, small tear at top. BENJAMIN HARRISON ON WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. Writing on mourning stationery due to the death of his wife the previous year, Harrison assists a biographer of his grandfather: "Your letter enclosing the proof slips of the biography of my grandfather, General William Henry Harrison, has remained a long time unanswered - partly because I have been very busy...I do not see anything to suggest, though my knowledge of the events of my grandfather's career is not as particular as it might be." Regarding his forbear's burial he writes: "It was not my impression that he was interred in the Congressional Cemetery at Washington; but that his remains were brought to North Bend...It is not true that the ground in which he was buried at...was deeded by my father to the State of Ohio; nor that the legislature of the State ever voted money for a monument." He suggests that his sister, Mrs. Eaton, might also be helpful. William Henry Harrison, after a funeral procession with 26 pallbearers and 10,000 mourners, was interred in Washington, but in June 1841 his remains were removed to North Bend for permanent burial. Wilson's biography of Harrison was incorporated in his The Presidents of the United States 1789-1894 (New York: Appleton 1894).
