ALS. (1786-1857). Marcy was a New York Governor and Senator, and Secretary of War during the Mexican War. ALS. 1pg. 7 " x 9 ". Novr 24th 1846. Philada. An autograph letter signed "Thos Oliver Goldsmith M.D." two times to Secretary of War William Marcy. After the start of the Mexican War, Goldsmith appeals to be sent to Mexico: "As a Regt of Volunteers is called from Pennsylvania, and as many of my friends will be in said Regt, I desire the appointment of Surgeon for Regt. I do not know whether the Col will appoint or the appointment reserved by the War office. In either case I would most anxiously be a candidate for the post. I can produce the best of qualifications as to character and capability (references to Drs. McClellan and Wm. C.C. Barton of Philada). I would state I have lived in the S. West of Louisiana on the lakes, a country similar to Mexico. I know its Geography climate and the nature of its diseases and if such an appointment could be made by you, you will confer a favor... I am a graduate of Medicine and have been practicing Medicine for 14 years, a part of the time in Louisiana near Texas, the balance in Kensington Phila Co Pa." The letter has the usual mailing folds with two toning bands on the integral address leaf

Hand colored etching. Very good
Description
S W Fores, 1802. Loose_leaf. Hand colored etching. Very good. Williams, Charles. A waggish sense of humor is presented here in this etching. A massive butcher presides in front of his stall, pointing out the benefits of a gargantuan joint of beef. His clientele, dressed in ostentatious costume look on as he points of the merits of his wares: "There is not such dignified Beef in the Market - believe me Right Honorable every Inch of it; Coronets marked in the fat and Genealogy in the lean - had it pon Honor - from my Lord cram Bullock, - delicious! - you may smell the Oil Cake a mile - no vulgar ingredients - only half a Crown per pound - a mere trifle - I have indeed some low bred beef at Sixpence but I am sue Sir it would not suit your refined Taste." The gentleman answers: "Why look ye - Master Suet as I am not over ambitious, if you please - I'll have a slice of the Citizen." His wife adds: "Husband dont be so Wulgar I say send home a Sir Loin of true Nobility." Light foxing, small close tear to top edge. Past crease marks visible.
