Politician (1807–1894) who was a member of the Buchanan administration, later serving as Judge Advocate General of the Army. Most notably, he was the chief prosecutor in the trial of those accused of involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln. Civil War–dated ALS signed “J. Holt,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, Washington, November 5, 1862. Letter to General Henry Halleck. In full: “I saw Gen. [Albin Francisco] Schoepf this morning & find him much improved within the last days. He is very anxious to be assigned to some duty, & thinks himself capable of any service which does not involve the riding on horseback. He has a vigorous & clear intellect & a soldier's education & would I think make a good member of the military commission about to convene at Cincinnati. He has a personal knowledge of many of the matters which will be the subject of investigation. I do not know whether this will be considered by you a recommendation or an objection. I only hope that something may be given him to do. He will call on you today or in the morning.” Professionally inlaid into a 7.75 x 11 sheet. In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and some light adhesive remnants to the reverse, possibly to repair some separation along the fold.
