Union general (1827–1905) who became better known as the author of the best-selling novel Ben-Hur. ALS, one page, 6.5 x 11, November 15, 1889. Letter to Secretary of the Interior John Willock Noble. In full: “I hear that Dr. James M. Dinnen, of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, has been reappointed on Pension Medical Board for Allen county. Permit me to suggest that it would be good policy to keep him in the place, especially for that county, which is the heaviest Democratic in the State. I don't know if anybody will try to oust him; should the effort be made, it would be well to shut it off." Cryptically, Wallace adds in a postscript, "I will explain fully next time I meet you. L. W." In very good condition, with partial separations along intersecting folds and some ink transfer from a typed letter to lower portion. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
