War-dated ink endorsement as senator on the adjacent leaf of a letter sent to Colonel Tait, April 17th, 1861. The letter to Tait, from “Wm. Langram, Capt. Company F, 1st Regt,” dated April 16, 1861, reads: “I beg leave strongly to reccommend [sic] to your notice Lieut. S. C. Mills of my company. He is anxious to obtain a commission in the regular army. I have always found him a worthy gentleman and an energetic officer, and consider him well suited for the position he seeks.” This letter has been endorsed at the bottom by Tait and Major General Wrightman. On the reverse of the second integral page, Johnson writes: “This is a worthy man and I hope it will be consistent with the duty of the Secretary to give him an appointment in the Army. Andrew Johnson, Washington D.C., April 17, 1861.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (a few partial separations to both sheets, well away from Johnson’s writing) and scattered light toning, soiling, and handling wear. Johnson’s writing is clear, dark, and generally unaffected. A very early example, dating from the very outset of the conflict.
