Physician and scientist (1798–1858). ALS signed “J. K. Mitchell MD,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, February 4, 1833. Letter to Congressman Joel Sutherland. In part: “Doctor George Mason…is desirous of obtaining a med. commission in the Navy to which without giving yourself much trouble I believe you could promote him. The Dr. remained in the Almshouse during the prevalence of cholera there even to the last, having maintained his post throughout.” Mitchell also pens a brief postscript and reverse of second integral page bears an address panel in another hand. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a couple tape repairs to small separations on reverse, some mild toning, and paper loss to second page, otherwise fine condition.
