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 ALS signed “John A. Dix, Maj. Genl. Comdg.,” one page, lightly-lined, 4.75 x 6.5, October 10, 1861, affixed to a cardstock sheet. General Dix writes from Fort McHenry, in full: “Mrs. Sebastian Street & friend of the Union Relief Association have permission to enter the encampments & visit the Hospitals in Baltimore & vicinity until further orders.” A partial letter to a Confederate prison is written in another hand on the reverse. Scattered mild to moderate toning and rippling, a few stray ink marks, and trimmed edges, otherwise very good condition.
