Warren Harding. Document Signed, Washington, July 1, 1921, appointing William B. Thompson “a Member of the Commission to Represent the United States in the celebration of the first centennial of the proclamation of the independence of Peru.” William Boyce Thompson was the Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 1914-1919, and was twice a delegate to the Republican National Convention (1916 and 1920, when Harding was nominated). It appears he was rewarded with a trip to South America to help the Peruvians commemorate their 100th year of independence from Spain. The document is countersigned by Secretary of State (and future Chief Justice) Charles Evans Hughes.
