This Union brigadier general is best remembered for founding Wisconsin's famed Iron Brigade of the Army of the Potomac, although health issues shortened his Civil War career; prior to that, he served as 17th Adjutant General of New York (1839-43) and worked as a journalist; after the war, he was appointed 5th United States Minister to the Papal States (1864-67). ANS, 1p, 8" X 10¼", Albany, NY, 25 February 1842. Addressed to "General." Very good. Neatly penned in brown ink on pale green stock, New York's adjutant general accepts an apology: "Yours of the 16 instant explaining the absence of several members of the Division Staff from the reviews of last fall was duly received. I am happy to add that the explanation is deemed to be satisfactory by the Comr in Chief." Boldly signed in full with title. A handsome early example. Comes with a superb heavy stock 6" X 8½" head-and-shoulders steel-engraved portrait of King in uniform within oval inset, undated but likely of 1860s vintage.
