US Marshal appointed to root out corruption in the legal administration of the Oklahoma Territory. He is best remembered for his capture of the infamous train-robbing Jennings Gang. TLS signed “C. H. Thompson,” one page, 8 x 12.5, June 15, 1898. From the US Marshal’s office in Guthrie of the Oklahoma Territory, Thompson writes to the Halsell Frazier Grocery Company. In part: “I would be pleased to receive bids from you for the furnishing of the following items for the use of the U. S. Jail at this place.” Thompson seeks bids on coal oil, lamp fuels, candles, soap, brooms, and other items. At the bottom is a response written by a representative of Halsell Frazier declining to bid due to daily advancing prices. In fine condition, with some scattered light soiling and a uniform shade of toning.
