Army general (1798–1879), senator, and secretary of the treasury under Buchanan who famously issued the Civil War order in New Orleans that, “If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot.” War-dated ALS signed “John A. Dix, Maj. Genl. Comg,” one page, lightly-lined, 4.75 x 6.5, October 10, 1861. In full: “Ms. Sebastian Streeter & friend of the Union Relief Association have permission to enter the encampment & visits the hospitals in Baltimore & vicinity until further ordered.” Trimmed in size and affixed to a same-size piece of cardstock with moderate irregular toning, scattered ink spots, and overall rippling, otherwise very good condition.
