Contact seller5-star sellerThis noted U.S. Treasury Department statistician was an entrepreneur who created a composite photograph of signers of the amendment abolishing slavery that proved quite popular; he was also an inventor, archaeologist, social reformer, philanthropist and evangelist who created cartographic maps of Egypt and North Africa for the O…riental Topographical Corps. ALS, 1p, 8½" X 10 3/4", n.p., n.y. August 29. Addressed to Giles F. Ward in New York City -- possibly father of Giles F. Ward Jr. (1845-65), a lieutenant with the 12th New York Cavalry who was accidentally killed by a colleague while in North Carolina. Very good. Penned on ultra-thin onion-skin paper, with occasional burn-through from heavily-inked letters. Reads in part: "I write this. to request that you will favor me with your own opinion, freely expressed, as to what the price of the Lincoln Cot should be? (the patent) either on a joint stock operation? or on sale in the other way you spoke of, a simple sale of the right? Please let me know what in your judgment it should be, even though it be less than 1/10 the proposed figures?" Boldly penned in rich brown ink. Powell and two others (one of whose last name was Lincoln) designed this specialized portable cot in 1862 and sought to interest the U.S. Army in providing it to the troops. A fascinating piece.

Contact seller5-star sellerOriginal handwritten letter dated March 27, 1865, from the "Rooms of the Y.M.C.A." in Washington, DC. The letter organizes a "Special Relief Corps" of short term nurse volunteers standing ready to travel from Washington, DC to Annapolis to assist in the care of soldiers in the U.S. General Hospital there. The text of the letter…is as follows: "The undersigned hereby organize ourselves into a 'Special Relief Corps' to be held in readiness to send not exceeding three of our members at one time to help care for sick and starved soldiers at the U.S. General Hospital at Annapolis Maryland. We agree that our delegates shall remain at Annapolis working under the supervision of either the local manager of the U.S. Christian Commission stationed there, or, of the Directoress of said capital for a time not exceeding three days excepting as they may be able or willing voluntarily to remain longer. Otherwise, in cases of special emergency their places are to be filled by others of our members all of whom are to be held in readiness to go to Annapolis upon notification by telegram or otherwise of such services being needed." The "starved soldiers" referred to in the letter were Union prisoners of war recently released from Confederate prison camps. Annapolis was the receiving station for prisoners returning from Andersonville, Belle Isle, Libby Prison, and other Confederate prisons. The document is signed by eight men, including George May Powell (notable Y.M.C.A. activist, Lincoln supporter, and Treasury Dept statistician) and Benjamin Stinemetz, national vice-president of the Y.M.C.A. Fine condition, with some mild browning, light stains, and two horizontal mailing folds. Single sheet folded in half to 7 3/4" x 9 3/4".
