Dear Sir:
I have in my possesion a letter dated September 26, 1862 from Governor E.D. Morgan to President Abraham Lincoln recommending the promotion of Colonel Addison Farnsworth to Brigidier General. He was in the 79th Reg, N.Y. Vol. It was found in a velvet case with a wax seal. I have not been able to authenicate it and would appreciate any help you can offer. I believe this could be of some importance to a collector or museum. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely
Deborah Chester
