American Revolutionary War soldier and politician from New York (1758–1825). ALS signed “M. Clarkson,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, New York, April 10, 1822. Letter to “James Monroe, President of the United States.” In part: “It is with sincere regret that I communicate to you the death of Gen’l [Aquila] Giles which took place yesterday morning. This event so afflictive in itself to his widow & family whose chief support was derived from the salary attached to the Generals Office of Military Store Keeper in this district…the duties of this office have for a length of time been performed by his son, George Washington Giles…a young gentleman possessing good character…It would be highly gratifying, Sir, to many of his friends to see this worthy Son of an old Revolutionary Officer take the place of his lamented father.” In very good condition, with moderate separations to mailing folds.
