He became a professor of chemistry at Lehigh University. A member of several societies, he was a juror at both the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition and the 1878 Paris Exhibition. Appointed as director of Lehigh University's Linderman Library, he compiled "Chandler's Encyclopedia: An Epitome of Universal Knowledge". The St. George Episcopal Church organist and local politician John Keyes Paige (December 14, 1843-1915) was appointed a postmaster of Schenectady, New York. Free delivery was inaugurated in Schenectady under his term. He held numerous high accolades and offices with Masonic orders.

Condition: Very good. Washington, D.C., October 1, 1975., 1975. Very good. - Over 60 words typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Congress of the United States" stationery. U.S. Congressman James G. Martin thanks the former U.S. Congressman from New York Seymour Halpern for his information on a medical issue, "Thanks very much for forwarding the information on renal diseases. I'm certain that it will prove most useful as hearings have not been concluded in this area." He goes on to express his appreciation to Dr. Merrill for the material. Signed "Jim Martin". There is a short ink line scribbled at the top. Folded for mailing, else fine. The American chemist and politician James Grubbs Martin (born 1935) served as U.S. Congressman from North Carolina before being elected Governor of North Carolina. Martin is North Carolina's oldest surviving governor. The recipient Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.

8vo. 1½ pp. To the Harvard law graduate Thomas Henderson Chandler (1824-95), who was applying for the post of usher, or assistant teacher, at the Boston Latin School, which both Henderson and Cooke themselves had attended: "I received your letter yesterday and immediately asked Prof. Lane [the Harvard classicist George Martin Lane, 1823-97] if he would allow you to use his name as a reference. He gave his consent unhesitatingly and I certainly shall have no objections to see my name in such good company. I am very glad to hear that you have obtained so good an opening. A private school in Boston is a sure fortune if successful; indeed it is the only form of teaching which is decently paid in this country. You will always have my best wishes for your success which also I will not fail to enforce with warm recommendations whenever the opportunity offers [.]". - In 1858 the versatile Henderson would take up studying the then-young science of dentistry and in 1860 returned to Harvard, joining the newly formed Dental School as adjunct professor. Cooke's own work at Harvard was instrumental in the measurement of atomic weights, inspiring Theodore Richards, America's first Nobel laureate in chemistry, to pursue similar research. Cooke's 1854 paper on atomic weights has been said to foreshadow the periodic law developed later by Mendeleev. - With 2 small strips of old mounting tape on verso.
