American military officer and politician (1798–1879) who served as a Union general during the Civil War, in which capacity he played a pivotal role in suppressing the New York Draft Riots in July 1863. His political and diplomatic career included posts as secretary of the treasury, minister to France, and governor of New York. War-dated handwritten telegraph, signed “John A. Dix, Maj. Genl,” two pages, 5.5 x 8, United States Military Telegraph letterhead, October 22, 1862. From Fortress Monroe, Dix sends a telegraph to Major General Keyes in Yorktown. In full: “Before I received your note in regard to Col Hall—Col Stetsel of the 11th Penn Cavalry was spoken to in regard to the Colonelcy of the 5th he was here today—he is a most excellent officer has been in the Army and has seen a good deal of cavalry service as Col. Hall would not gain in rank. I suppose he would be indifferent about a change in position.” In very good condition, with vertical fold to left side, scattered toning, and show-through from docketing on reverse of second page. Just a month earlier, both of the Pennsylvania cavalry regiments mentioned in this telegraph would see action at Antietam.
