Washington, D.C., November 23, 1868. 1 page hand written letter by Francis Elias Spinner (January 21, 1802 – December 31, 1890) who was an American politician from New York. He served as Treasurer of the United States from 1861 to 1875, and was the first administrator in the federal government to employ women for clerical jobs. The letter, written to Judge Ezra Graves, discusses copies of papers received from General Butterfield given to Graves, but Spinner had not heard from the War Department or General Meyers. Judge Ezra Graves (December 1, 1803 – January 8, 1883) was an American lawyer and politician from New York. He was First Judge of the Herkimer County Court from 1845 to 1847. After the re-organization of the New York court system, he was Judge and Surrogate of the Herkimer County Court from 1847 to 1855, and from 1860 to 1863. He was a delegate to the 1856 Republican National Convention. In 1858, he was Temporary Chairman of the Republican state convention. He was a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1867–68. Rare Spinner letter written fully in his hand with his distinguished signature found on U.S. currency from that time.
