ALS as a New York congressman, one page, 8 x 10, March 3, 1842. Addressed from the House of Representatives, a handwritten letter to Abel Upshur, the Secretary of the Navy, in full: “I have the honor to transmit herewith an application of Levi Hayden of Boston Mass. for the appointment of Carpenter in the Navy. His application is supported by a recommendation from several of the most respectable citizens of Buffalo, which I also transmit. I also enclose several other recommendations from persons with whom I am not acquainted. I do not know Mr. Hayden and can not therefore recommend him from any personal acquaintance, but his papers would seem to entitle his application to a most respectful consideration.” In fine condition.
