Alger, Russell Alexander; United States Secretary of War - A Typed Letter, Signed

Title: A Typed Letter, Signed
Description: Washington DC, 1898. One page on War Department stationery measuring 5" x 7.75"; To Allen Bourn of the New York Central Railroad referring to rails the Government may purchase. Alger was Secretary of War during the Spanish American War. Russell Alexander Alger (February 27, 1836 - January 24, 1907) was a Governor and U.S. Senator from the state of Michigan and also U.S. Secretary of War during the Presidential administration of William McKinley. He was supposedly a distant relation of Horatio Alger; although Russell Alger lived his own "rags-to-riches" success tale, eventually becoming a financier, lumber baron, railroad owner, and government official in several high offices. Very good .
