About this Item
MILLER, John Franklin. [And Ralph Ellis.] Autograph Letters Signed. Written by California U.S. Senator John Franklin Miller and the Lodi, California Sentinel newspaper owner Ralph Ellis. On one side of the sheet Ellis writes to Miller in Washington, DC- on Sentinel stationary and dated January 28, 1884. Ellis states that since the Alaska Goverment Bill has passed the Senate he is inquiring about being appointed a U.S. Marshall in California. On the verso of the same sheet is an autograph letter to the [California?] Attorney General stating that the Alaska territory now has a form of goverment and requests Ellis be considered as a U.S. marshall. What Alaska has to do with the appointment is beyond me. Miller was a Civil War veteran and was elected in 1880 as one of the two first California Senators to the U.S. Congress. An interesting and probably uncommon letter with two scarce signatures!!! Very Good condition (tiny nicks to corner) $125.00. Seller Inventory # 797
