BUREAU OF THE MINT,
Washington, D.C., November 9 1889.
My dear Doctor:
I am in receipt of a personal and
urgent letter from Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania,
requesting me to use my good offices with you in
behalf of the appointment of Miss Kate A. Carrington,
the daughter of an esteemed friend of his, Dr. Paul
Carrington, in your mint.
Senator Cameron states that this lady is the entire
support of her father's family, owing to his disability
from disease.
It would afford me pleasure to approve the appointment
of Miss Carrington, and I trust that you will find an
early opportunity to give her employment.
Respectfully yours,
E. O. Leech
Director of the Mint.
Dr. Andrew W. Smyth,
Superintendent, U.S. Mint,
New Orleans, La. [Louisiana?]
