American military officer and politician (1798–1879) who served as a Union general during the Civil War, in which capacity he played a pivotal role in suppressing the New York Draft Riots in July 1863. His political and diplomatic career included posts as secretary of the treasury, minister to France, and governor of New York. War-dated ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 6.5 x 8, July 9, 1861. Dix writes to the Honorable S. Cameron, Secretary of War, in full: “Dr. John McNulty of New York, now Surgeon of the 27th Regt. N. Y. volunteers, is desirous of being a Surgeon in the regular army. Col. McCum’s letter making the application states why he cannot enter, in the morning manner, through the grade of assistant Surgeon. I have known Dr. M. for many years. His qualifications as a Surgeon & Physician make his appointment eminently proper. He has, moreover, given a great deal of attention to sanitary regulations & principles; and I know no one better fitted to introduce a proper system into our camps for the preservation of the health of the troops. I may add that the Dr.’s high & exemplary character promises the best assurance that his duties will be continuously discharged.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, light creasing, toning along the edges, docketing on the reverse of the blank second integral page, a pencil notation to the top edge, light mirroring from premature folding, and several endorsement on the reverse of the second page.
