One page autographed letter dated 1831 and signed by Peter Vroom. Paper and signature are in good condition. Peter Dumont Vroom (December 12, 1791 – November 18, 1873), an American Democratic Party politician, who served as the 9th Governor of New Jersey (serving two terms in office; from 1829–1832 and 1833–1836) and as a member of the United States House of Representatives for a single term, from 1839–1841. He was born in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey and graduated from Columbia College, New York in 1808. After studying law at Somerville Academy he was admitted to the bar in 1813. Vroom was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly from 1826 to 1829. He then served as governor of New Jersey from 1829 to 1836. As governor, Vroom supported the establishment of the Camden and Amboy Railroad and the Delaware and Raritan Canal. In 1838, Vroom was one of five Democratic candidates for Congress to become involved in the Broad Seal War controversy. Disputed election results caused the U.S. House of Representatives to challenge the Whig candidates certified by Governor William Pennington. After a lengthy fight, Vroom and the four other Democrats were seated in place of the Whigs. Vroom lost his bid for reelection in 1840. He then served as a delegate to the New Jersey State Constitutional Convention in 1844. He was appointed by President Franklin Pierce as United States Minister to Prussia from November 4, 1853 through August 10, 1857. He died in Trenton, New Jersey and was buried in the DuMont Cemetery off River Road in Hillsborough, New Jersey. I have been collecting and dealing autographs for over 11 years.
