James Buchanan Henry autographed handwritten stationery order sheet, measuring approximately 6.5 x 4.25 inches. The undated manuscript is entirely in Henry's hand and signed at the conclusion, "J. Buchanan Henry."

The order lists quantities of personalized stationery and office supplies, including "6 Quires of the large size, deep black bordered note paper," "6 quires of the small size note paper," "6 packages of large size envelopes," "4 packages of small size envelopes," "samples of each sent," and "2 small wax paper stands." The document offers an interesting glimpse into the day-to-day administrative and personal correspondence needs of one of Washington's best-connected political figures during the mid-nineteenth century.
