Ulysses S. Grant 1822-1885 Eighteenth President of the United States and Union Lieutenant General. A.L.S. as President, 3pp. 8vo., Long Branch, Aug. 7,1875 to Silas Reed, Surveyor General of Wyoming Territory, a testy letter accepting Reed's resignation. In part: ... I have this day forwarded it to the Sec. of Int. with instructions to accept it... In accepting your resignation allow me to say that I know of no reason to be dissatisfied with your administration of the office of Surveyor General On the contrary, I believe it has been efficiently and advantageously to the Govt filled during your entire administration... An uncommon official letter as President. Very good.
