Handwritten endorsement, dated December 8, 1881, written on the reverse of the last page of a three-page letter to Grant from S. L. Glasgow, 6.5 x 9, asking for Grant’s endorsement for a judgeship position in one of the territories. Glasgow writes, in part: “If you conclude, General, to endorse my application for a Judicial position in some territory I shall be much obliged if you will end this letter directly to President Arthur so he can receive it before he sends to the Senate his nominations for the Wyoming vacancy.” On the blank final page, Grant writes, “Referred to the Atty. General. As an ex-Union soldier, and lawyer recommended by his immediate representation, and one of the Senators in his state. I commend Mr. Glasgow for a judgeship in one of the territories.” Entire letter is matted to an overall size of 19 x 13.5. In fine condition, with both pages of letter inlaid to slightly larger sheets. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
