Endorsement as president signed “J. K. P.,” two pages on both sides of a mailing envelope, 7.75 x 9.75, March 12, 1847. Responding to a letter from Nathan Gattlin regarding William C. Wagley, Polk writes, in part: “Reference to the Secretary of War: Wm. Wagley’s case is an extremely hard one as he aided Capt…in raising his company of Dragoons in Kentucky, a fact which was not known, when the officers of the company were appointed. If it be possible…to give Mr. Wagley…in some other company, it is due to him. It should be done.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, a tear to the left edge, light writing from the address over which the response is penned, and some mild brushing to the text and signature. Accompanied by the original letter from Gattlin.
