Union Army general (1815–1881) who later served as New York State attorney general. War-dated ALS signed “J. H. Martindale,” two lined pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9.75, embossed letterhead, August 30, 1861. General Martindale writes to the Honorable E. D. Morgan, Governor, in part: “I find difficulty in making selection of my aids-de-camp. The orders require that they should be chosen from among the Lieutenants of Volunteers. I am desiring of keeping my son, Edward H. Martindale, of Rochester, with me in that character and I can only do it by your cooperation. There are a number of vacancies in the Lieuts. of regiments of New York volunteers, and I would greatly be obliged to you if you would confer a commission to that rank on my son.” Docketing on the reverse of the second integral page. Intersecting folds, some trivial toning, and a red pencil notation below the docketing, otherwise fine condition.
