Description
This handwritten letter, dated December 9, 1859, is written from Daniel Edgar Sickles, an American politician, soldier, and diplomat, to Major Hall. The letter speaks of candidates and applications, though is it unclear what the letter is referring to, as the handwriting is difficult to read. There are stains on the pages. The second page is signed, "Yours, D. Sickles" and the third page is a "P. S." This letter was found tipped into volume seven, between pages 220-221 of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.
