Ward, Charles, fl. 1842. Charles Ward letter, 1842 Apr. 4.

Title: Charles Ward letter, 1842 Apr. 4.

Charles Ward of Frankfort wrote this letter April 4, 1842, to U.S. Postmaster General Charles A. Wickliffe seeking assistance in obtaining a federal appointment. Ward's letter made reference to an enclosed letter of recommendation by future Kentucky governor Charles S. Morehead. This letter is no longer present. Ward preferred a U.S. Army commission, if Wickliffe, a former Kentucky governor, could persuade President John Tyler to offer one. Ward described his military experience, noting he had enlisted in the army at age nineteen in 1813 during the War of 1812 and had served close to twenty years from that time. His last rank was captain in the 4th Regiment of the U.S. Artillery.

Ash, W. A. Letter 2 June 1847.

Title: Letter 2 June 1847.

Dr. W.A. Ash wrote this letter to Dr. Samuel B. Merrifield, thanking him for intervening on his behalf with the President of the United States (James K. Polk.) Ash was trying to obtain a surgeon's commission for the Illinois 6th Regiment, newly formed in the shadow of the Mexican War. He wanted a commission with the 6th specifically because they were to be based in Scott County, Illinois. The regiment had signed a petition on Ash's behalf, who then secured Merrifield and former Kentucky Governor, Charles A. Wickliffe as his advocates to the President. By the time this letter was written, however, Ash had still not received his commission. He asked Merrifield to remind the President of his petition.
