réf. 415194Unbound. Near Fine. One legal folio folded at the top to make four pages. Old folds as filed soiling and small tears at the extremities of the folds very good or better. A certified handwritten copy prepared in March 1885 shortly before Grant's death of an 1880 contract between Grant and Lewis B. Brown of New York City. Signed by various clerks with one seal but NOT SIGNED BY GRANT. The document gives Grant ".forever a right of way to the Atlantic Ocean from Seabrook now Ocean Avenue over and upon the lot. and the privilege to erect a bathing house of moderate size upon the Shore of said Ocean. ."

Grant's shore house served as the Summer White House during his two terms from 1869-1877 obviously this right-of-way was issued after his term was over. unknown
