W.A. Parker letter : Boston, Mass., to W.H. [sic, i.e. George Washington] Crawford, Washington, D.C., 1849 Mar. 12.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/779381510

Handwritten letter intended for the current Secretary of War, George Washington Crawford but mistakenly addressed to a similarly named but deceased Secretary of War, William H. Crawford. Parker is writing to ask if a recently passed law authorizing supplying guns at the government's expense to people going to California applies to people who have already sailed. If so, he requests details on to how to apply for them, when they will be delivered, and what items will be received. Received at the War Department on March 14, 1869 and answered on March 17.
