Dear Sir:-
Though personally unaquainted with you, I take
the liberty of introducing the bearer, Mrs. A.V. Smyth,
the wife of Dr Smyth, who was connected with the mint at
New Orleans at the time when a loss was discovered there
some years ago. Dr. Smyth was compelled to make good this
loss, although a subordinate was suspected of being
responsible. Mrs Smyth is trying to have Congress reimburse
the Doctor, who was practically ruined by the affair and
there being no fault shown on his part, he is practically a
martyr to the political system of his time, the subordinate
having been appointed by him in the usual way; that is,
through the recommendation of his party.
Very truly yours,
Charles Doherty
