Former journalist and army officer who was then surveyor general of the Oregon Territory. ALS signed “C. K. Gardner,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 8 x 10, April 23, 1856. Letter to John J. Almy. In part; “I am as much gratified with your defence of me to the President, as if I had been present, to make a more complete answer to those charges of which you have no knowledge. But does not the President see that I could not be informed of these secret proceedings, and that no chance was given me for defence? Does he not see the picture it exhibits of a set of men (claiming to belong to the National Democratic party, but having no connection with it) who denounce the dark-lantern party for its secret, midnight, proscriptions; then practice the same thing against Genl Palmer, the Superintendant of Indian Affairs, Col. Avery the Portal-agent, and myself, besides others who I am told were under discussion; and we, members of the Democratic Party, and appointees of the President himself, not to be allowed a defence. Genl Palmer who was attacked in public sessions of this Legislature, was refused, on his application, to be heard: my case was entirely secret.” In fine condition, with scattered soiling, toning and light fading along central horizontal fold, and a few creases. Accompanied by an unsigned partial letter, also in Gardner’s hand. Almy would command a Union cruiser which blockaded Confederate ports.
