Private letter books of T.H. Stanton, paymaster general, U.S.A
Manuscripts
Five letter books kept by Thaddeus Stanton while he served as paymaster general of the United States (1895-1899). The volumes include both handwritten and typed letters, signed by Stanton, most of which are labeled "unofficial" or "personal." The majority of the letters were written by Stanton to various military officers and friends, and the personal correspondence includes letters mentioning his time in the "far West," advice for obtaining supplies and elk hunting in Wyoming, and inquiries about family members and friends. The majority of the correspondence consists of letters of thanks for congratulations on his appointment as paymaster general, recommendations for other army officers and their families for government positions, and letters of introduction for various acquaintances (including Alice Underwood Hunt, the widow of former Colorado governor Alexander Hunt). Other correspondence focuses on the Spanish-American War ("I am looking for people to go to the Philippine Islands," he wrote in May 1898) and Stanton's plans to retire in 1899.
