lot of 6. Includes Barnes, Joseph (1817-1883), Brigadier General and Surgeon General. ANS, 1p, 5 x 7.75" on Surgeon General's Office letterhead, Washington, Jan. 6, 1877. Addressed to General John Love. Concerns copies of SGO publications he is sending to Love. May be other content, but he has a doctor's handwritting. He saw active service against the Seminoles and in the Mexican War before being assigned to the Surgeon General's office at the start of the Civil War. Barnes is credited with elevating the standard of the medical department, establishing the Army medical museum and the surgeon general's library. He was present at Lincoln's deathbed and attended Seward when he was shot, and was physician to Garfield during his illness. PLUS Hammond, William Alexander (1828-1900), Brigadier General and Surgeon General. ANS, 3pp, 4.5 x 7", New York, Dec. 16, 1877. Addressed to General John Love. Appears to concern a bill introduced in the house regarding veteran benefits (but he writes like a doctor, also). Hammond served 11 years on the frontier after his medical training, resigning in 1860, only to re-enter the Army in May of 1861. Hammond is credited with major re-organization of the army medical procedures, staff, and facilities, so that it could handle the casualties of the war. He was court-martialed (convicted and dismissed) on (what many think trumped-up) charges of irregularities in liquor contracts, with later Presidential review clearing him of charges and restoring his rank, although he was retired. In this note he appears to make reference to his ineligibility for some military benefits, possibly because of these charges. PLUS Naudain, Arnold (1790-1872), Surgeon General of Delaware (War of 1812) and Senator. ALS, 2pp, 8 x 10",8 x 8.25" Washington, DE, Feb. 24, 1842. Addressed to Oliver Smith concerning Indiana tax law. PLUS McDougall (?), Army Medical Purveyor. ANS, 3pp, on Purveyor's office letterhead, Philadelphia, June 17, 1865. Addressed to General John Love concerning a recommendation for brevet colonelcy. Back of mounting sheet has copy of the bill authorizing the President to review General Hammond's court martial. Lewis, Dio (1823-1886), medical doctor and founder of temperance movement in Ohio. ANS, 1p, 8 x 8.25", Lexington (MA), Aug. 24, 1867. Addressee uncertain, concerns accepting a speaking engagement. Lewis has been credited with influening the addition of physical education in public schools, among other accomplishments. AND envelope with note on mounting sheet that it is the personal stationery of Florence Nightingale and her handwriting on the envelope, although we have not been able to confirm this. Condition:All of these are mounted on heavy paper and have usual folds. First is lightly toned at top, else excellent. Second has very lightly toned area at top and right, else excellent. Third lightly toned, also excellent. Fourth is evenly toned, has small spot of adhesive on bottom margin of first page, still very good. Fifth has some soiling and scuffing of top 2" or so with a tear through the "r" in Sir, VG-. Last is evenly toned with some minor soiling.
