July 12, no year. Morton writes: “ Dear Col. Cole I wish you wd look over the list of candidates for the King’s County Hospital & make yr selection - I incline to the seven from the packets marked with “x” in pencil- you can bring the papers to Albany with you Tuesday morning, when we can perhaps make the appt. I hope you & Mrs. Cole are enjoying Saratoga. Very Truly L.P. Morton.” Extremely Fine.
