Timothy Pickering private letter to Rufus Putnam |
|
Author:
|
Pickering, Timothy, 1745-1829 |
|
Description:
|
In this private letter Pickering refers to Putnam's appointment as Surveyor General of the United States and requests that he recommend a person to succeed himself "on the judicial bench" in the vacancy that will occur with Putnam's acceptance of the post of Surveyor General. Pickering asks for more than one recommendation as the "notorious want" of sobriety on part of another member of the bench will doubtless cause second vacancy. |
