[1] AES, DNA FS RG 59, Appointments, Box 270. Both endorsements are written on the back of a letter of August 1, 1861, from William Bebb, ex-governor of Ohio (1846-1848) who was appointed an examiner in the Patent Office upon refusing the consulship. Bebb recommended James DeLong of Ohio, who was appointed consul at Tangier but was rejected by the Senate July 12, 1862. He was later appointed and confirmed as consul at Aux-Cayes.
