McParlin asks that an original letter of introduction written by Ulysses S. Grant and sent to President Chester A. Arthur be returned to him (the original being deposited in White House files). McParlin transcribes in his own hand the text of the letter and asks that this serve as a substitute so that he can get the original back. He asked because he considered the letter, which commends his service in the Civil War, more valuable to himself and his family since Grant had recently died. Written on stationery of the Assistant Medical Purveyor's Office, U.S. Army.
