Dix, who distinguished himself as a Union Major General in the Civil War and later became New York's Governor himself, in part: ".I have some applicants who have been long in the field on this & other occasions.I do not know but that political complications will in the end compel me to yield to the application of one of them.it's a matter of satisfaction that I have such names as yours to resort to, in case I should conclude to disappoint the eager applicants." The ink from each page shows through on the other side; several closed tears; chip caused by a wax seal; minor staining. Good condition.
