ALS as president signed “Benj Harrison,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, September 19, 1889. Letter written from Deer Park to his Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble, who he addresses as “Dear Genl.” In full: “I agree that an early decision ought to be made–but there is one thing much worse than delay–another mistake. The Senators from N.Y. [William M. Evarts and Frank Hiscock] will not back your first choice, and I do not want it to be true this time that the Senators & members hesitate or protest. I have had a very favorable telegram from Genl Cogswell of Mass [congressman] and a very cautious one from Cabot Lodge [then a Mass. congressman] referring to a letter not yet received. Mr. Hoar’s delay [Mass. Senator George F. Hoar] is not assuming as to his opinion. Possibly I may wish you tomorrow morning to come here. You can leave by the 3 PM train and can if necessary take a morning train back at 8 o’clock. Should I do so I would want you to bring all the information you know about every one who was named before and now so that the whole field will be before me–and a decision can be made. If Major Warner is still there & is ready to go home he might come with you & stay now & conclude his matter here. It would be natural & his letter could go out with the appointment if one is thus made.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold, a few slight brushes to text, and a bit of trivial soiling.
