Hon.ble Sam. W. Dana.
Hartford 19 th Nov. 1861
Dear Sir,
not being able at present to wait on you at Middletown, I have taken the liberty to enclose my Power of Attorney for procuring from the War Office a Warrant for any Military County Lands &c have to request you will give such attention as may be necessary for procuring the Warrants and disposing of the same for what it will bring by transferring it any purchaser appears at Market or other putting the same in train of location before the limited time for that business is determined. —
M c Goodrich was kind enough to receive my power for that purpose last year. he now tells me that he has done nothing more than to lodge the same with necessary certificates and papers at the War Office, with M c Dexter the then Secretary — where I beg you to apply and believe you will find all papers which are executed. I am informed the time will expire after which they can be of no service to me.
The mode of doing this business Hoar & Co. being unwilling to loose that business has induced me to make this Application to you as time is so short must be lost unless you can save something
Yours Dear Sir your very humble Servt & Friend. Ralph Pomeroy
