Description
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR A UNION PAYMASTER
A.L.S., 1p. 8vo., Washington, D.C., July 7, 1861, a letter from a Jacob Broom to Secretary of War SIMON CAMERON (1799-1889), recommending that a Theo B. Voorhees be given a job as a paymaster in the Union Army. In part: "...If you can possibly find room for him you will secure the services of an honorable and upright gentleman, and gratify a host of influential friends..." Cameron, incidentally, was notoriously corrupt, and resigned his position after only one year due to allegations of granting political favors. The letter is written on patriotic stationery, and includes the original transmittal envelope, which also bears patriotic imagery. Minor staining, else very good.
